2. Gautam Gambhir (Delhi Capitals, then Delhi Daredevils)
The ever-so aggressive Indian opener, Gautam Gambhir was the backbone of the Delhi-based franchise in their batting department. The left-hander was bought for a whopping US $725,000 as he went onto do enough justice to the price tag attached to his name.
Being one of their marquee players alongside skipper Virender Sehwag, Gambhir shouldered responsibility at the top of the order.
His runs at the start proved to be fruitful for his team as they claimed the fourth spot in the Points Table before losing out to Rajasthan Royals in the Semi-Final. Being one of India’s best batsman during the phase of 2008-09, the 27-year old extended his good run even for his home franchise.
Gambhir did the bulk of scoring for his team in the entire season and accounted for second-highest 524 runs at an impressive average of 41 with a strike rate of 140.
