1. Suresh Raina
Kixking off our list of the best IPL batsman is Suresh Raina. Raina is the most consistent batsman in the history of IPL. He was a genuine backbone of his franchise Chennai Super Kings.
Raina was the main armour in the yellow army for a long part of his yellove career. Tags of ‘Mr. IPL’ and ‘Mr. Consistent’ to his name does justice to his real worth.
He has been one of the most accurate batsmen in T20 cricket. His knock of 87 runs off just 25 balls against Punjab was the epitome of his elegance. Other than that, he is the only batter to have scores of 98, 99 and 100 in IPL.

2. AB De Villiers
Very few cricket fans would believe if we say that AB De Villiers is a normal human being in the field of cricket.
His skills and 360-degree range have alienated his worth from his peers. Probably, he was once in lifetime cricketer to play this charming game with equal elegance.
If we have to describe his best performances in words, it will take an eternity. Royal Challengers Bangalore couldn’t be more grateful to have such a player in their hut.
Undoubtedly, he was the finest batsman in IPL and world. It will be hard to think of a bowler who hasn’t gone through the wrath of his peak.

Chris Gayle is the most iconic batsman to ever play in the IPL. He was the heart and soul of this league for a significant part.
It was nothing less than a golden treat to watch the big Jamaican timing the ball in full flow with an immaculate power. He was beyond any stats and numbers.
His knock of 175 runs of 66 balls and Pune Warriors India is still etched in the memories of cricket fans.
His effortless batting has entertained all of us. Even after the age of 40, his enthusiasm for this game is something to be worthy of inspiration.

4. David Warner
The pocket-size left-hander has given some of the best giants of cricket a run for the money.
David Warner has been the most illuminating batsman in the IPL. Whichever franchise he played for was blessed to have him.
Sunrisers Hyderabad got most of his potential as he led them to their first IPL title in 2016. His batting skills and his leadership have heightened this league’s aura.
It won’t be wrong to say that he has been the most influential and a loving cricketer in the history of the IPL. Currently, he is a part of the Delhi Capitals.

5. Michael Hussey
Michael Hussey was named the Mr Cricket for his ferocious and intimidating batting aura throughout his career.
His spot-on assault from the first ball made Chennai SuperKings indomitable in power plays. IPL was fortunate enough to have him play for a longer part.
CSK is considered to be one of the mightiest teams of IPL, and a major part of that is because of Mike Hussey.
He might have started his cricketing career a bit late, but his strong presence made CSK as well as Australia undefeatable.
His fitness in the dusk of his career was a thing to be admired by all. His mentorship role was equally important for the franchise.

6. Faf Du Plessis
Faf Du Plessis has one of the best techniques in all kinds of conditions. His astounding fitness makes him a fiery fielder.
Faf contributed a lot to CSK’s glory and remained a core part of the unit until 2021.
Currently, he is leading Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2022. So far, he has shown his superb leadership skills.
RCB can expect their first IPL trophy under his reign. Undoubtedly, he has been one of the most promising cricketers in the World, irrespective of the team for which he plays.

7. Andre Russell
Andre Russell is famously known as “Russell Muscle” courtesy of his excellent power behind his shots with the bat.
His ball hitting timing and strength makes him the most dangerous batsman in the IPL. He is the one batsman who can change the course of the game in the matter of just a few balls or an over.
He has done it so often that whenever he comes out to bat, even the biggest target looks chaseable.
Apart from his batting, he is a bowler that a team would never deny having. He has been an integral part of Kolkata Knight Riders, and he will continue to be their x-factor.

8. MS Dhoni
The World Cup-winning Indian captain, MS Dhoni, is no less than the messiah of CSK and IPL.
He is the best in whatever he does for the team, whether it is captaincy, batting, keeping or managing the team. He has been able to maintain his finishing magic all these years.
It is said that if a bowler has to defend 20 runs in the last over against Dhoni, the pressure is always on the bowler.
His calmness inspires everyone. He has aged above 40, but still, he looks one of the best in business. We must enjoy his presence until he leaves.

9. Virat Kohli
Since its emergence, Virat Kohli has been synonymous with his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore.
He led the team for 10 years straight, but the bad part is that RCB is still trophyless. Apart from that, he is one of the best batsmen in the IPL.
2016 was the dream year for Kohli as he smashed 973 runs with 4 hundred in a single season. It would take a miraculous effort even to get close to the Kohli of that year.
He passed on the leadership baton to Faf du Plessis before the start of the 2022 IPL season.
With no captaincy pressure on his shoulders, he can be a giant with the bat and help RCB clinch their first glory.

10. Brendon McCullum
A batsman of his calibre could outshine any bowler on any particular day. Brendon McCullum lit up the inaugural IPL match of the first season with his knock of 158 not out off 73 balls against RCB while playing for KKR.
He was the one batsman who never needed a ball to settle down and could begin the assault from the first ball itself.
Later, he played for CSK as an opener, and his performance got to see a new peak. Even after his retirement, he contributes to this league in the role of coach for KKR.

I have observed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in most real estate deal, a fee is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the commission rate. Rather, they fight to win the commission by means of doing an agent’s occupation. In the process, they shell out their money along with time to perform, as best they could, the duties of an adviser. Those jobs include disclosing the home by marketing, showing the home to buyers, building a sense of buyer desperation in order to make prompt an offer, booking home inspections, dealing with qualification investigations with the financial institution, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing of the deal.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
