- Zaheer Khan (8/10):
In his last IPL season, Zaheer might not have set the stage on fire with the ball, but as a leader, Zaheer was simply outstanding. His leadership skills against the Mumbai Indians at Delhi were remarkable indeed as he made precise use of his bowlers to choke the opposition. Zaheer’s astute captaincy would be another reason behind why this particular season of the IPL would be remembered a lot.
