The league stage of the Indian Premier League 2020 came to an end with some big names establishing themselves at the top of the runs and wickets charts. While KL Rahul leads the batsmen with 670 runs, Kagiso Rabada is ahead in the bowlers list with 25 wickets. Suprisingly, neither of the orange cap nor the purple cap holder find a place in Brad Hogg ipl XI.

Hogg didn’t pick David Warner either. In the middle-order, he went for Suryakumar Yadav, AB de Villiers, Eoin Morgan and Hardik Pandya. Morgan was the most fluent batsman for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), scoring 418 runs at an average of 41.80. Hardik Pandya didn’t get many chances to bat, but he has played decent cameos at an impressive average and strike-rate of 34.42 and 174.63

Hogg has lined up a strong bowling attack with Archer, Bumrah and Shami as the pacers while he picked Rashid and Chahal as two spinners. For Shami’s selection, he reckoned that, “Shami has a great wicket-taking ability, not really happy with his economy rate but you can’t have the cake and eat it too. So I am happy with him getting wickets with the new ball. He is sensational with a bit of reverse swing at the end of the innings. He is another reason why KXIP were searching a place in the playoffs till the very end.”

So, no KL Rahul and no Kagiso Rabada! Here’s how Hogg lined up his selection – back-to-back centurion Shikhar Dhawan leads the batting line up along with Mayank Aggarwal. Aggressive batsmen Suryakumar Yadav, AB de Villiers and Eoin Morgan fill up the middle order. Hardik Pandya is the lone genuine allrounder on the list. While the bowling department fields Jofra Archer, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal.
