Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya has been a prime all-rounder for Mumbai Indians for years. Pandya can accelerate the run-rate with the bat at the lower order and comes in handy with the ball at the most crucial stage. He bats at an amazing strike rate of 159.27 in T20s. He is back to bowl again after his back surgery. This means Pandya will be in full form. If he remains consistent with his performance, he can surely claim the award at the end of the tournament.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul is arguably the best Indian T20 batsman. He might be having a rough patch but he can make a strong come back any day. Last year, he led Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) for the first time, failed to take the side to playoffs but ended as the highest run-scorer of the tournament. He won the IPL Orange Cap in 2020 for 670 runs in 14 games. KL Rahul would love to repeat last year’s performance even as a captain. https://www.cricadium.com/ipl-2021-jofra-archer-may-miss-first-four-rajasthan-royals-matches/ Stay updated with all the cricketing action, follow Cricadium on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
