Gautam Gambhir scored 501 runs in IPL 2016, matching Shikhar Dhawan’s tally. He was the only batsman from his team who showed up match after match. Due to lack of adequate support though, KKR failed to reach the final of the tournament.

Gambhir smacked his runs at a strike rate of 121.89 and at a healthy average of 38.53. In total, he hammered 5 half centuries and struck 54 fours and 6 sixes.

#3 Ab de Villiers (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Nicknamed Mr. 360, AB de Villiers is seemingly in great touch every IPL season. But in 2016 he was at the next level, scoring 687 runs in 16 innings to outscore the next batsman in the list - Gambhir - by a mammoth 186 runs.

Each and every innings of De Villiers was pure class, filled with some unbelievable striking. He scored his runs with a strike rate of 168.79 and an average of 52.84. He also made one memorable century and six half-centuries, apart from smashing 57 fours and 37 sixes.
