All-rounders are key members of any cricket team, especially in the shortest format. The longer formats require specialists more than all-rounders, but T20 is a stage where multi-skilled players thrive.
With the Impact Player rule coming into effect in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in recent years, the importance of all-rounders has dropped by a few notches. However, some all-rounders have still kept themselves not just relevant but indispensable members of their sides.
On that note, let’s take a look at some of the best performances from all-rounders in IPL finals over the years.
Top 5 all-round performances in IPL finals history
5. Ben Cutting vs RCB, IPL 2016
Ben Cutting was a renowned name in Australian domestic cricket for his all-round contributions. He was a destructive lower-order batter and a fast bowler who had the knack of picking up big wickets. In the IPL 2016 final, he etched his name into the annals of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) legacy.
Cutting played a brilliant knock against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, smashing an unbeaten 39 off 15 balls. His blitzkrieg helped SRH get past the 200-run mark. Chasing a 209-run target, Bengaluru were restricted to 200/7. Cutting picked up the important wickets of Chris Gayle and KL Rahul.
