Easily the most surprising name on the list, Balachandra Akhil played just 15 matches in his IPL career and this knock against the Deccan Chargers in IPL 2008 will be by far his best moment of the competition.

In a chase of 166, with his side, RCB, in a spot of bother, Akhil walked out and leathered the bowling from ball 1, notching 27 runs from just 7 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes. Chamara Silva and Chaminda Vaas were treated with disdain and sent to all parts of the ground as Akhil helped RCB chase down the target with an over to spare.
