Chris Gayle (Royal Challengers Bangalore): The King of Caribbean was on song once again in the tournament.

Ajinkya Rahane (Rajasthan Royals): Rahane looked in the best of his form and played innings that helped Rajasthan Royals win in the first half of the tournament. Rahane, was in all praise from his captain Rahul Dravid for the way he carried his innings in most of the match winning performances. He will in the top of other contender for the place in the T20 world cup that is going to happen in Srilanka.

Shikhar Dhawan (Deccan Chargers):  Shikhar Dhawan’s batting was so much appreciated by everyone 

next to that of Rahane,  He scored almost 570 runs with an average of 40 which is so good at the T20 stages, but still the fellow members of his team didn’t back him up with their performance . He played some impressive shots which made people think why he hasn't got place in the Indian team.

Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders): The young West Indian has made  a perfect start for his career. Spinners are never treated with mercy in Sub-Continents if they don’t bowl with consistency and with variations, but this magical man from the land of Bodyline bowlers was at his best containing almost all the batsman.  He bagged around 23 wickets with an impressive average of little more than 5 runs an over which itself adds to his performance in the shortest format of the game.

Morne Morkel (Delhi Daredevils): The tall South African pacer proved again to be one of the best bowler in the world, claiming 24 wickets this season and his spells were so threatening  and he won matches single handedly for his team. Excluding him from the decider match against Chennai Super Kings cost the team so dearly, that their captain Sehwag admitted that he had made one of the worst cricketing decision.

Dale Steyn (Deccan Chargers): Dale Steyn, wow, yet another performer of Deccan Charger for whom the effort was not backed up by the team mates, He was so much pumped up and was firing the ball with tremendous accuracy and hitting the target with his great line and length, he had played a crucial part in few victories that Deccan chargers tasted this season.

Parwinder Awana (Kings XI Punjab): Awana, the only Indian bowler who can be recognized and appreciated for the effort he put, although he has consistently performed in the domestic level, he held a low card value when it came to bowling to international players but he proved everybody wrong with some of his spells being so fiery and attacking, where he earned world class players respect. He took 17 wickets which is good from an Indian perspective which lacks good front line bowlers.
