2. Sunil Narine (Trinidad & Tobago – 11 wickets)

Chennai Super Kings v Trinidad & Tobago - 2011 Champions League Twenty20

His judicious use of hair gel notwithstanding, the wily Sunil Narine has been able to fox the batsmen with his bag of tricks. After his IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders failed to make it to the CLT20, Sunil decided to turn out for Trinidad & Tobago, and reaped rewards.

He came to the fore with a magnificent four-wicket haul against the Sunrisers, conceding just nine runs in a four over spell. It would have been a match-winning effort but for Thisara Perera’s slog-fest towards the end of the innings. Nevertheless, he kept picking up the odd wicket or two as T&T cruised into the semi final stage.

Against the Mumbai Indians, Sunil struck blows at crucial junctures to finish with yet another miserly haul, but it proved to be too little too late as the IPL champions pulled off a thrilling victory in the final over to reach the summit clash.

The good thing for T&T and West Indies is that Narine seems to be back in form after a lackluster IPL 2013.
