Predicting the 5 Most Valuable Players of IPL 2020

The Covid-19 has indeed delayed this year’s cricketing activities. It has led to the postponement of the marquee event, the T20 World Cup. Still, there is some good news for the cricket fans as the biggest T20 extravaganza, Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to return to their television sets. It also means, finally, the fans will get to see their favourite cricketers in action.

The 13th edition of the tournament will take place in the UAE across three venues. So, the teams will be coining out different strategies and combinations based on the playing conditions. But all these things will only matter if their star players will put up consistent performances. If they do, then at the end of the season, some of them might turn out to be the Most Valuable Players of the tournament.

Predicting the 5 Most Valuable Players of IPL 2020:

1) KL Rahul

Another year and another captain for the Kings XI Punjab. And this time, it is their star batsman KL Rahul who has been trusted with the leadership duties of the side. More than a logical move, it seems a rewarding one as he has been their consistent performer over the last two seasons. He is one of the few players who has given a reason to smile for the Punjab fans.

Since joining the North Indian franchise, Rahul has grown as a player. He has carried their batting department with a sense of maturity. To be precise, he has scored 28% of the team’s runs. So it will not be wrong to say that the added responsibility has worked wonders for him. Still, Rahul will be disappointed that he couldn’t take his team to the playoffs in both seasons.

That’s why this time, he will be eager to correct his past mistakes. Moreover, the captaincy may further fuel his hunger for runs. He has also been in the form of his life. In the last 15 T20Is, he has amassed over 550 runs, including 6 half-centuries. Therefore, there is every chance that he might end as the most valuable player of IPL 2020.
