3. MS Dhoni (CSK)

Playing for Pune in the last season, MS Dhoni has scored 290 runs in 16 matches at an abysmal strike rate of 116. The season was such a failure for him as a batsman and with his hitting capability dwindling, Dhoni show was seemingly over. This year, he has revived and suddenly has turned around the clock. MSD is batting like he was playing in 2006. So far in the season, he has already hit more sixes than he hit in the last whole season. This season his strike rate is above 170.
