Purnendu Maji and Srinivas Bhogle present the most valuable players in IPL-4
This has been Gayle's IPL. He has scored the most runs (511), hit the most sixes (38), won his team (RCB) the most matches, and proved to be the most influential player (with a MVPI of 782) even though he played just 9 of the 14 RCB matches.
When the panel of experts meet to decide IPL4's most valuable player it should be an instant and unanimous verdict. The table below explains why.
