IPL 2024: Dream Team of the Tournament: Building the Ultimate IPL XI
Finishers
It is a department where the batters have no choice but to go after the bowlers. in this phase, the precision of the batters matters. This is also a department where the players are required to provide extra skills to get a balanced team. With the introduction of the impact rule, the role of the All-rounders might have gone a bit less. But some players can still command a spot in the team due to their brilliance with the bat, ball, and gloves.
Heinrich Klaasen will be the WK batter in the side. The peak of this batter began towards the second half of 2022 and has continued since then. In every T20 league since then, he has had insane SR. In the IPL 2023, he was one of the best finishers where he scored over 400 runs at a batting average of close to 50, at a batting SR of over 180. Doing it for a side like SRH where he was the lone warrior with the bat was an incredible feat.
Hardik Pandya might be injured right now. He might have not had that good a season for GT in 2023. But the Star All-rounder can be trusted to deliver the goods when it matters the most. Ahead of the T20 WC 2024, Hardik has a lot to prove. He has become the captain of MI which has angered Rohit Sharma fans. His captaincy, batting, and bowling are being questioned. He has to perform in every department, which makes him a candidate on the side.
At number 7, Andre Russell will bring the perfect balance to the side. The Star All-rounder seems to have returned to his best. in the series against England, the beast performed both with the bat and with the ball, which helped the WI to beat the world champions. Russell with the bat can easily clear the fence for fun. With the ball, the Caribbean star is a genuine wicket-taking option. These two factors make him a top pick in the side.
