It is safe to call Indian Premier League the toughest league in the world. Every cricketer dreams of getting an IPL contract. However performing in IPL isn’t as easy as everyone thinks, the standards of IPL are very high, and it requires a player with immense skills to perform in such a difficult stage. The player who performs the best throughout the tournament wins the “MVP” award of the season.
MVP over here refers to the “Most Valuable Player”. Over the years many world-class players have won the MVP award. Winning the player of the tournament award is very hard in every tournament, likewise, winning the MVP award in IPL is a massive achievement.
Today we shall be taking a look at 5 such players who could win the MVP award this season.
1) Andre Russell
Russell has been one of the best T20 cricketers for quite a while now. Anyone who has followed the IPL over the years wouldn’t be surprised on seeing Andre Russell’s name over here. He won the MVP award last season, and there’s absolutely no reason why he can’t repeat his heroics. Russel has IPL’s most giant beast, to say the least. He has an average of 33 and a tremendous strike rate of 186. He is a decent seamer as well. Like every year, Russell is KKR’s best player going into IPL 2020, and the KKR fans would hope that he can repeat his IPL 2019 heroics.
2) KL Rahul
KL Rahul has been a pillar for the Indian team of late. His T20I, as well as T20 record, is “Out of This World” to say the least. He has been one of the best players in the IPL for the last two seasons. He has an average of 42 and a strike rate of 138. He has carried KXIP in the previous 2 editions of the league, and there’s no reason why he can’t win the MVP award this time around.
