VIRAT KOHLI 273 runs, 136.50 average, 146.77 strike rate VIRAT Kohli firmly established himself as the master of the chase in the recent World T20. He single-handedly steered India in to semi-final thanks to some brilliant batting. Wearing the skipper&rsquo;s hat brings out the best in the Royal Challengers Bangalore giant.

CARLOS BRATHWAITE 57 runs, 203.57 strike rate; 4 wickets, 8.05 economy rate HIS four sixes in the last over of the World T20 final that won West Indies the title has left the fans hungry for more. The Delhi Daredevils batsman will definitely be one of the biggest attractions of this edition of the franchise-based tourney.

SAMUEL BADREE 9 wickets, 5.39 economy rate WHENEVER West Indies skipper Darren Sammy tossed the ball to leg-spinner Badree, he rarely disappointed him. He may not turn the ball a great deal, but Badree&rsquo;s accuracy is his biggest weapon, something that skipper Virat Kohli will definitelylook to exploit for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

JOS BUTTLER 191 runs, 159.16 strike rate THE England wicketkeeper is one of the most destructive batsmen in the world at the moment. Buttler, who barely let down his skipper in the World T20 tourney, would like to continue from where he left as he gets ready to feature in his maiden IPL with Mumbai Indians.

MUSTAFIZUR 9 wickets, 9.55 average, 7.16 economy rate Left-arm medium-pacer Rahman was the talking point of Bangladesh&rsquo;s World T20 campaign. Rahman&rsquo;s cutters&nbsp; bamboozled most batsmen. That he claimed 5-22 against New Zealand, one of the most consistent teams in the World T20, shows how priceless he will be for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Imaging: Moulvi Zaki hasan
