Best batsman – Brad Hodge
At 39-years-old Hodge is certainly a veteran of the game and like many before him – such as Rahul Dravid and Adam Gilchrist – is using the IPL as a swansong to a successful career.
Not to say that the Australian can’t play and the batsman will provide an experienced and level head in the top order and could make the difference when called upon.
