Famous Indian commentator and former India batsman Akash Chopra has selected 4 such teams which have the best match-finishing batsmen. Akash Chopra, speaking on his Facebook page, selected teams with good finisher batsmen.
In the first place, Chopra has placed four-time winner Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He said that the team has all-rounder Kieron Pollard who is currently the world's most explosive batsman in T20 games. He can turn the match anytime with his bat in the last over. Apart from Pollard, they have a pair of brothers Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya who together with Pollard can score a lot of runs for the team in the final overs and can achieve any target.
At number two, Chopra has replaced the Kolkata Knight Riders team led by Dinesh Karthik. According to him, there is a strong player in the team in the form of Andre Russell, who can single-handedly blow any bowling order. Also, this time England's dangerous batsman ON Morgan and himself captain Dinesh Karthik will also be there to support Russell in the end overs. Akash said that Morgan is still in excellent form and it is very important for Kolkata to include him in the playing XI in every match.
Chopra has placed the Delhi Capitals team full of young players in third place. He has chosen wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant for Delhi, captained by Shreyas Iyer, and young explosive batsman Shimron Hetmyer from West Indies as the finishers.
Chopra said that Hetmyer is in excellent form in the ongoing CPL and he can score runs for the team in the last over. Apart from this, he is also expected to bat well in the last over of Australia's wicketkeeper batsman Alex Carrey and all-rounder Marcus Stoinis.
Chopra has placed Chennai Super Kings captained by Dhoni at number four and last. The only reason for this is Dhoni himself, who is counted as the captain and the world's best finisher. Akash Chopra said that Dhoni is a one man army and he can single-handedly cross the team. He will also be accompanied by Kedar Jadhav Ravindra Jadeja and West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo who will work to finish the match with Dhoni in the last over.
