2. Glenn Maxwell

The Indian favourite, Maxwell, who sing the cash prize IPL competition's chorus with a sky-high strike rate of 151.84  is one of top classy batsman from Australia who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Maxi aka "The big show", is well known for his hard-hitting ability all over the ground and has the potential to take the game away from his opposition side singlehandedly. The flair of excellence is often demonstrated with his unorthodox choice of shots in the limited overs cricket, making it a counterintuitive statement by his scintillating performance for someone who try to writes him off. Maxi tendency to hit the ball from the moment he sat his foot on the pitch creates an unstable atmosphere for the opposition. His acrobatics fielding skills is an investment returns and asset for his team. Gravitating towards fitting as a batsman at large , the part time right-arm off break bowler is certainly far from being an inspiring all-rounder, however his all-rounder performance could be expected when required as the big show has all qualities to succeed in bowling department.

3.Faf du Plessis

Faf, the newly appointment classy captain is one of the versatile batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season. The Proteas former captain is popularly known for his calm and composed approach in batting who can confidently steer his team to the gates of victory. His nerve to stay calm in a high pressure game is surely a fortress to keep his team away from defeat. Faf's slow-approach to aggression facilitates his opposition a sign of victory but that same slow-approach to aggression takes the game away from his rivals as he keeps going till he score the winning run.

Faf's career has been a testimony for patience and perseverance, often left out of his national squad due to abundance of genius batsman in the side which could potentially smoked a short sportmans career but his love for the game eventually came to a rescue when he was given a chance, who grabbed with both hands and delivered like it was promised before the start of his career's chapter.

Faf's captaincy and batting skills would play as a catalyst to lead his team to a maiden IPL trophy.
