- Gautam Gambhir (7.5/10):
He might have been absent from the international arena for quite some time, but Gambhir was on the money in this edition. From the bat, Gambhir led Knight Riders’ charge with 501 runs to his name including five scores in excess of 50. His leadership was once again quite crisp and aggression was made well use off. However, Gambhir’s form faded a bit during the latter half and that could have potentially been a spoiler for the Knight Riders.
