IPL 2020 is ready to begin very soon. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host the entire 13th edition of the IPL from 19th September to 10th November 2020.
However, it will be not the first time when the UAE will host the IPL tournament. Earlier, during the IPL 2014, the UAE hosted the first 20 matches of that tournament due to the 2014 Indian general election. During that UAE phase, some cricketers played massive roles for their respective teams.
Here we are talking about the top five presently active cricketers in IPL who impressed during the UAE phase of the IPL 2014
Bhuvneshwar Kumar – 8 wickets in five matches
Serving for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the Indian right-arm pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar got eight wickets in five matches during the UAE tour of the IPL 2014. In that phase, his bowling average was 15.00, and economy rate was 6.15, while his best bowling figures were 3/19.
SRH finished in the sixth position in the IPL 2014 while Kumar finished as the third most wicket-taker in that tournament by picking up 20 wickets in 14 matches (average 17.70; economy rate 6.65).
