These players rocked the tournament with their scintillating performances but did not get the recognition they deserved.
6. Wriddhiman Saha (wk)
Wridhimman Saha has been playing in the T20 league since 2008 and in these 15 years, he has hoarded 2798 runs in 161 outings at a strike rate of 128.05. After struggling to be among the runs in the first six IPL installments, the wicketkeeper batter looked confident for PBKS in 2014.
Scoring 362 runs in 13 innings at a superb strike rate of 145.38, Saha put up a decent show with his bat. In the final game against KKR in Bengaluru, he hit an unbeaten 115 off 55 with 18 boundaries (10 fours and eight maximums) to help his team post 199 runs on the board.
In the end, PBKS lost the match but Saha received a lot of appreciation for his excellent batting display. The veteran joined GT for INR 1.9 crore for IPL 2022 and he justified his amount as an opener. In Gujarat’s title win, he chipped in with 317 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 122.39 .
