5 All-rounders to watch out for in CPL 2016

The fourth season of one of the most celebrated T20 leagues of the world, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), is about to get underway. The last season saw an exhibition of some very closely fought matches and it was the Trinbago Knight Riders who emerged on top eventually.

The credits largely went to their all-rounder Dwayne Bravo. All-rounders have a key role to play in the shortest format of the game. They often turn the tables when specialists fail on occasions.

The CPL is full of players who have it in them to turn the match on its head in the matter of a few overs. With the way T20 cricket is shaping up, the balance is gradually shifting heavier towards the all-rounders as they are the proving to be the trump cards. Here are the top 5 all rounders to watch out for in CPL 2016:

1. Dwayne Bravo –Trinbago Knight Riders:

Trinbago Knight Riders were down and out in the last season of the CPL. It was the herculean effort of their skipper Dwayne Bravo that saw them win under miraculous circumstances as they won three knockout games on the trot to lift the title.

Throughout the tournament, it was Bravo who led from the front. He emerged as the leading wicket-taker last season with 28 wickets to his name in 13 matches at an economy of 7.34 and a best of 5/23.

Bravo recently represented the Gujarat Lions in the IPL this year and was the leading wicket-taker for his franchise. After being out of the national set-up, he surely will have a big agenda in mind to perform and make a statement.
