#2 Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya is arguably the best finisher in the country with MS Dhoni in the twilight of his career. The all-rounder from Baroda turned a few heads with his clean hitting in the last season of IPL. Pandya smacked 402 runs from 16 matches at a staggering strike-rate of over 190 including 29 sixes and was one of the key performers during Mumbai Indians fourth title-winning campaign.
The flamboyant all-rounder has been out of action owing to an injury which has been bothering him since 2018. He was slated for a return during the New Zealand series but took longer to regain fitness. Hardik Pandya is expected to be in fully fit when he resumes his duties in the Mumbai jersey.
Pandya possesses a great array of shots in his kitty and can hit the ball from the word go. With the T20 World Cup lined up months after the IPL, all eyes will be on the devastating all-rounder as he will look to have an outstanding IPL under his belt ahead of his international return.
