The Best XI of IPL 2016

4. AB de Villiers (wk) – Royal Challengers Bangalore:

In spite of Kohli’s performance overshadowing everyone, AB de Villiers was another man RCB were dependable on. With an enormous strike rate of 168.79 and close to 700 runs in this season, AB was the third highest run-scorer of the season. He played a gem of a knock in the Qualifier where RCB were reeling at 29/5. He also hit 37 sixes falling just one short of Kohli’s tally. His power hitting skills just bettered as the tournament progressed. But despite all that he blinked in the final and got out cheap soon after Kohli departed and that almost cut out RCB’s chances.
