Srinivas Bhogle and Purnendu Maji present the Most Valuable Players in IPL-11: The final list.
The Most Valuable Player Index -- the MVPI -- collapses a player's batting, bowling and fielding performance into a single 'run equivalent'.
The MVPI rewards batsmen if they score a lot of runs at a high strike rate, bowlers if they take a lot of wickets at a low economy rate, and fielders who takes the most catches or participate in the most run-out dismissals.
Rishabh Pant of the Delhi Daredevils, with a MVPI of 897, is the most valuable player of IPL-11.
Among the top 5 five are: K L Rahul (839), Kane Williamson (836), Sunil Narine (760) and Shane Watson (720).
The players in the top 50 who contributed a 'run' for less than US$1,000 were: Mayank Markande of the Mumbai Indians ($126 per 'run'), Deepak Chahar of the Chennai Super Kings ($565), Ambati Rayadu, also of the CSK ($573), Prithvi Shaw of the Delhi Daredevils ($638), Kane Williamson of the Sunrisers Hyderabad ($680), Chris Gayle of the Kings XI Punjab ($765), Mandeep Singh of the Royal Challengers Bangalore ($801), Shakib Al Hasan from SRH ($840), Suryakumar Yadav from MI ($880) and Shane Watson, CSK ($992).
