IPL 2020: 1 underrated all-rounder from each team who could win the MVP award

#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar's game might add depth and versatility to RCB's playing XI in IPL 2020

One of the striking features of the RCB squad is its balance, and the main reason for this is the presence of many all-rounders. Among these all-rounders is Washington Sundar, whose skill-set and style of play may be perfectly suited to RCB's needs in the UAE.

His accurate powerplay bowling could ensure that lead spinner Yuzvendra Chahal isn't wasted early in the innings, while his handy batting could stretch RCB's weak middle order out a bit.

Sundar might be overshadowed by the likes of Chris Morris and Shivam Dube as far as the all-rounders department goes, but he really could shine in IPL 2020. The Tamil Nadu man could even contend for the MVP award.

#2 Chennai Super Kings - Sam Curran

Sam Curran adds variety to the CSK bowling attack

Much like Sundar, Sam Curran might be overshadowed by his more illustrious Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammates - Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja. But the Englishman is primed to have a breakthrough IPL season, considering the depth and variety he adds to the team's lineup.

Being a left-armer and a swing bowler, Curran could partner Deepak Chahar with the new ball. In the absence of vice-captain Suresh Raina, the young southpaw could also be promoted up the order, with his strokeplay often having caught the eye at the international level.

Curran seems like a very smart signing, and he is in with a real shot to claim the MVP award.

#1 Mumbai Indians - Krunal Pandya

Krunal will be vital for MI in IPL 2020

We all know how good an all-rounder Krunal Pandya is, but what we might not realise is just how valuable he is to the Mumbai Indians (MI) setup. The Baroda man is expected to be one of two front-line spinners in IPL 2020, and on the spin-friendly UAE tracks, he will have to contribute heavily.

Krunal will also have a lot of work to do with the bat, and his contributions towards the ends of innings will be as vital to the MI cause as those of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard. The left-arm spinner is a quality player, and he seriously mount a challenge for the IPL 2020 MVP award.
