Accompanying him is Romario Shepherd, another pacer who had a decent run this season. He picked up 18 wickets in nine games at an average of 14.11. Like Smith, he too troubled batsmen at will and clocked high speeds consistently.

Sunil Narine was TKR's third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He bowled 40 overs in the tournament and picked up 12 wickets at an average of 14.58. He also bowled in the decisive moments of the game and held his nerve when the pressure was on him.

Following the master closely is his apprentice, Akeal Hosein. He bowled 42 overs across 11 innings and picked up 13 wickets at an average of 15.92. He forged a good partnership with Sunil Narine and was Pollard's go-to man whenever he needed a wicket in the powerplay.

Ravi Rampaul completes this XI as the last bowler. The Caribbean veteran bowled his heart out throughout the league and returned with 19 wickets in 10 innings at an average of 16.21.
