#6 Hardik Pandya – MI

Des[pite not having much of muscle power, Hardik Pandya has always been able to smash sixes at will. Currently, he s enjoying a purple patch in his career as he enjoyed every bit of the season and won the third title of his career. For the first time in IPL career, Hardik went past the 400-run mark in a season and it is a remarkable achievement for a cricketer who bats so down in the order.

Apart from the 402 runs, he also managed to scalp 14 wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 18.21. After everything that happened in the talk show controversy, this definitely was a sensational way for the flamboyant all-rounder to redeem himself.
