1) Chris Gayle:

Over the last few years, KL Rahul has scored runs in this league for fun. It is safe to call him the "Mr Consistent" of the Indian T20 league. He was a lone-warrior for Punjab in several editions and will now be seen representing Lucknow in the upcoming edition.

3) Virat Kohli (C):

Virat Kohli has scored the most number of runs in the history of the Indian T20 league. His tally of 973 runs during the 2016 edition is still the most number of runs scored by an individual batter in an edition. Besides, he has been an absolute pillar for the Bangalore-based franchise.

4) AB de Villiers:

Calling AB de Villiers a genius would be an understatement. The Proteas batter was one of the best to have graced the tournament. The legend has scored 4974 runs in the tournament at an average of 40.77. 

5) Rishabh Pant (WK):

Rishabh Pant is nothing short of absolute dynamite. Not only is he decent with the gloves, but his ability to deposit the ball out of the stadium is one of a kind. Despite batting in the middle-order, Pant has been a consistent batter. The keeper has scored 2498 runs in 84 matches so far.

6) Chris Morris:

On his day, Chris Morris can single-handedly win games. Batting, bowling and fielding, he can do it all. His USP is his death bowling, which is fabulous. The Proteas all-rounder has played for Chennai, Rajasthan, Bangalore and Delhi.

7) Irfan Pathan:

Irfan Pathan is one of the most underrated Indian all-rounders. As far as his bowling goes, he has picked 80 wickets in the biggest T20 league in the world. He has an economy rate of 7.78, which is really good in this format of the game. Besides, he has also scored 1139 runs.

8) Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is a gem of a player. In fact, he is currently one of the best T20 players of this era. With the ball, he can guarantee his captain wickets, as well as tight overs. Moreover, he is more than handy with the bat.

9) Sandeep Sharma:

Sandeep Sharma is unarguably one of the most underrated pacers in this league. His ability to pick wickets in the powerplay overs is something every captain wants. His skills as a new ball bowler are fantastic, to say the least. His tendency to consistently bowl economical overs is praiseworthy.

10) Mohammed Shami:

Despite having modest returns during the initial phase of his career in the Indian T20 league, Shami has now become a force to reckon with. He has picked 66 wickets in the tournament so far. His best performance came in 2020 when he picked 20 wickets.

11) Amit Mishra:

Amit Mishra is unarguably the greatest spinner in the history of the league. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that he is one of the greatest bowlers this league has ever seen. The veteran has picked as many as 164 wickets. Besides, he has also picked the most number of hat-tricks.
