#10 Imran Tahir – CSK

Imran Tahir collected the Purple Cap as he gave the fans one of his finest exhibitions of leg-spin in any tournament, as he finished the season with 26 wickets in his account at an average of 16.58 and a gobsmacking bowling strike rate of 14.85. He was MS Dhoni’s go-to bowler in critical situations and picked up crucial wickets at defining moments in matches. A spinner going or some runs in T20s is quite a common site, but Tahir maintained a tight economy. He bowled over 60 overs in the tournament and ensured his team was in the hunt for the title even as they put up ordinary shows with the bat on occasions.
