The IPL is around the corner and its buzzing already. Now when the auctions have concluded and teams have got their sqauds, the excitement is even higher. We have tried to create a team which we call THE IPL LEFT HANDERS XI.
These are the best left handers to have played the shortest format of the game. We have chosen David Warner as the skipper of this team.
Here is THE CRICKET LOUNGE’S IPL LEFT HANDERS XI
Openers
- David Warner (captain)
- Shikhar Dhawan
In T20 cricket a lot depends on the openers. A team is as good as its opening pair for its the opening pair which ascertains the total or the success of a chase. In this left handers XI, these two form a perfect opening pair. Warner is a destructive batsman and Dhawan would be his perfect partner.

Middle Order
One Down: Suresh Raina
Two Down: Quinton De Cock (Wk)

Three Down: Yuvraj Singh
Four Down: David Miller
Middle order forms the backbone of this side. With Raina and Yuvi in the middle order and De Cock as the wicketkeeper, this looks a handsome middle order. Suresh Raina is India’s leading run scorer in T20s. Yuvraj Singh is one of the cleanest hitters to have ever played the game and Quinton De Cock is the best wicketkeeper batsman after MS Dhoni.
All Rounders
Ravindra Jadeja
JP Duminy
These are two perfect all rounders for the side. They also make a perfect spin duo for this side.
Left Handed Bowlers
Mitchel Starc
Mitchell Johnson
Jaydev Unadkat
Now this looks like a perfect pace attack. With Starc leading this attack any batsman would fear this bowling attack. These three left arm pacers can dislodge any batting side. Starc is known for his perfect yorkers and that is the biggest plus point of this bowling attack.
