2) Shaun Marsh:
Shaun Marsh was the orange cap holder in the very first season of the IPL. He helped the Kings XI Punjab (Punjab Kings) to qualify for the playoffs in the very first season. The left-hander was unstoppable in the first season. His dominance was like never before. Marsh was single-handedly carrying the burden of the Kings. It was the last game of the IPL season. He doesn’t feature in IPL 2022.
Marsh scored a jaw-dropping 115 runs off 69 balls. All the shots that he is known for were on display. He countered the short-ball very well too. He graced his innings with eleven 4s and seven 6s. The innings came against a decent bowling line-up featuring the champions of that season, the Rajasthan Royals. Munaf Patel, Shane Watson, and Siddharth Trivedi. All these bowlers were left without an answer. Here is a look at the stats of Shaun Marsh in the IPL:
