IPL 2018: Picking an all-time best IPL XI

Keeper and All-rounder

MS Dhoni could get into any franchise's team

#6 MS Dhoni (WK)

There has arguably been no better IPL keeper than Dhoni. He has led the Chennai Super Kings to back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011 and always with the bat. He can either bat in the top or lower order and is a very versatile batsman and can bat in any situation.

He has scored 3,500 runs at an average of close to 38. This is the second-highest among wicketkeepers, only bettered by keeper-opener Robin Uthappa.

Dhoni has hit over 150 sixes and has 17 fifties. His runs have come at a quick rate of over 136. He could make it into any franchise's team.

#7 Dwayne Bravo

The “champion” Dwayne Bravo has become a global T20 sensation, as well as a part-time singer, and is now the leading T20 wicket taker of all time. Bravo has a strong record all over the world and he also seems to enjoy playing in India. He has taken 122 wickets in 103 innings. This the fifth most wickets in the competition's history. En route to this, Bravo has won the purple cap twice in 2013 and 2015

In addition, Bravo has 1,238 runs to his name at an average of close to 23 with a strike rate of 126. This shows his quality as an all-rounder and provides energy on the field.
