The best player of the 2015 world cup runners and the captain of 2019 world cup runner who lost the finals on boundaries count. The kiwi is one of the fab four of the decade. He single handly managed kiwi’s scorecard in 2019 CWC and get them to finals who always called as underdogs. His batting skills and taking the match away from the opponent’s hand made him a world-class player.

Even after warner’s missing in IPL he switched his batting gears to next level scored.
The New Zealander has stood out in Sunrisers’ campaign and adapted to the captain’s role with ease. Williamson was handed the reigns and he had to take over in a tough situation and he led from the front since then. The 27-year-old has gone on to score 735 runs at an average of 52.50 from 17 matches. He has the highest of 84 and has hit eight fifties this season. The Black Caps captain has hit 64 fours and 28 sixes in IPL 2018. He is now assured of the Orange Cap now as nobody playing in the match has a realistic chance of overtaking him. So we have put him in ahead of Steve Smith due to his ability to take any team to any level.

The unorthodox proteas batsman has scored more than 9000 runs which includes 53 fifties and 25 centuries. In AB De Villiers’s Autobiography “AB”, it is mentioned, when Sir Vivian Richards went on to meet AB De Villiers in the fifth edition of the IPL i.e. in 2012, Viv said to De Villiers, “Believe me you are changing the game how’s it plays, I see myself in you, I was destructive in my career but you are at another level.”

The 360-degree batsman has won ICC ODI player of the year three in his 15yrs career. He is a kind of batsman who can play at a strike rate of 200plus and even slow and steady innings. He can fit into any position of the game. He is a handy wicket keeper who can field at any position. He has all the variety of games and a man who can do anything in the field. His shots and his way playing the innings still remains as a myth.
