#3 Sunil Narine (Deccan Gladiators)

Sunil Narine didn't do much to justify the "all-rounder" tag in the Indian Premier League for the Kolkata Knight Riders, but the freedom of the T10 format should be able to revive his batting to a certain extent.

Although his action has come under suspicion from umpires recently, Narine is still an economical, potent threat with the ball in hand. The West Indian is part of a fearsome spin partnership with Imran Tahir, and captain Kieron Pollard will rely on him to keep the run flow in check.


#2 Dwayne Bravo (Delhi Bulls)

A year after leading the Maratha Arabians to the Abu Dhabi T10 crown, Dwayne Bravo will attempt to achieve the same feat with a new team - the Delhi Bulls. The all-rounder hasn't been in great form of late, with frequent injuries preventing him from getting a consistent run of games.

However, Bravo, who recently became the first bowler to take 500 wickets in the T20 format, shouldn't face too many difficulties in 10-overs-a-side games. With players such as Mohammad Nabi, Evin Lewis, Sherfane Rutherford and Ravi Bopara part of his team, he will look to become the first captain to win two consecutive editions of the Abu Dhabi T10.


#1 Kieron Pollard (Deccan Gladiators)

Cricket has been kind to Kieron Pollard over the last few months. The West Indies T20I skipper oversaw the Trinbago Knight Riders' unbeaten run to the Caribbean Premier League title and then won the Indian Premier League in the UAE with the Mumbai Indians.

Pollard is clearly playing the best cricket of his career, and he will lead the mighty Deccan Gladiators in the Abu Dhabi T10 2021. With world-class players like Sunil Narine, Colin Ingram and Imran Tahir at his disposal, we could see him add yet another trophy to his cabinet.
