The Below Five All Rounders Will Be A Gold Dust For Their Respective Sides:
All-rounders play a very important role in the cricket match. In the history of IPL, we’ve witnessed how all-rounders play solid, successful roles for their team.
In this post, we look forward to the five all-rounders who will be gold dust on their respective sides and watch out for the IPL 2020. It’s a well-known fact that if a team has a quality all-rounder, the whole balance of the side gets a little higher.
1. Andre Russel (Kolkata Knight Riders)
When Andre Russell enters the T20 match, it’s one of the most terrifying sights for every time of opposition. The big man from Jamaica is a giant T20 player who’s fascinated everybody throughout his IPL career. KKR, like any other year, will again use their all-rounder superstar to deliver the goods again.
Defending champion of the IPL ‘MVP’ title, Russell just knows how to take his team home in a tight T20 match. He’s one of those players that you just can’t keep out of the game. Time and time again he has created breathtaking performances for the Knight Riders of Kolkata.
This year, Russell will see the elusive IPL crown he still has to win. Get ready UAE, the Russell storm is about to strike the IPL next month.
2. Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians)
Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has not played a significant cricket match since last September due to back surgery. While he returned to the game during India’s last international series against South Africa at home last March, they didn’t play a single ball due to rainfall and postponing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
So, Indian cricket fans will pay close attention to Hardik ‘s success during the IPL 2020. Last year, he played crucial roles for the Mumbai Indians to win the IPL trophy as the right-handed batsman scored 402 runs (average 44.66; strike rate 191.42) and the right-hand pacer scored 14 wickets in 16 matches.
In his IPL career, Hardik has played 66 matches where he has scored 1068 runs (average 28.86; strike-rate 154.78) and also got 42 wickets.
3. Ben Stokes (Rajasthan Royals)
The crown in the jewel of the Rajasthan Royals, Ben Stokes is probably the best all-rounder of the game today. The 29-year-old has been shimmering since the last year, helping England to win miraculous games from difficult circumstances.
A wicket-taker, natural match-winner with a willow in hand and a freak fielder, Stokes is a complete all-rounder. Rajasthan Royals wants Stokes to be on song all the way through IPL 2020 as that will make a big difference to their side this season.
It goes without saying that Stokes will be paying attention while he plays in the IPL 2020 as he enters the tournament on the back of huge international cricket results.
4. Ravindra Jadeja (Chennai Super Kings)
The all-rounder of Chennai Super Kings will be an indispensable cog for the franchise on those spinning surfaces in the UAE. Jadeja is at its best when the pitch grips a bit, and he’s in no time to complete his quota of overs. The 31-year-old is going to be one of the all-rounder stars that everybody will have a keen eye on during IPL 2020.
Jadeja has also grown tremendously as a batsman in the last few years. He demonstrated his class in tough circumstances and led the bat charge to the CSK. On top of that Jadeja is a gun fighter that will end up saving a few runs in the region.
A true three-dimensional cricketer, Jaddu, is currently at the height of his powers and will be looking to win matches for his popular franchise next month.
5. Glenn Maxwell (Kings XI Punjab)
While the UAE hosted the first half of the 2014 IPL, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) cricketer Glenn Maxwell was the most prolific batsman in that part as he scored 300 runs in just five games (average 60.00), including three fifties. He finished the IPL tournament as the third-most run-scorer (552 runs) while his team finished as the runner-up, with the best IPL performance to date. Maxwell won the Most Valuable Player award in that IPL edition.
Although Maxwell has returned to the IPL 2020 for KXIP, the franchise expects similar magic in the coming IPL season. After playing 69 IPL matches, Maxwell scored 1397 runs (average 22.90; strike rate 161.13) and packed 16 buckets. Even, in any case, we can’t ignore his incredible fielding efforts.
