'Achha hume toh pta hi nahi tha' - Fans react as Sunil Gavaskar picks his 3 greatest players in IPL history

The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League is proved to be one of the most successful seasons so far in the franchise cricket league history. Most of the matches have been thrilling and nail-biting so far and fans are liking it a lot. The tournament is about to finish as only 5 league matches are remaining but only 1 team have qualified for the playoffs so far which is Gujarat Titans (GT) who are also the defending champions.

Meanwhile, former legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has picked up his 3 greatest players in the history of IPL. Talking to Star Sports, Gavaskar picked the former legendary Indian skipper MS Dhoni, the modern-day great Virat Kohli, and the current Indian team captain Rohit Sharma as the greatest players in IPL history.

However, it is not really surprising as Kohli is the most successful batter in the history of IPL and he has more than 7000 runs in this tournament for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). At the same time, under the captaincy of Rohit, the team of Mumbai Indians (MI) have got their hands on the trophy five times. Apart from this, he has also scored more than 6000 runs in IPL.

Who will win the 16th edition?

While speaking about Dhoni, he has led Chennai Super Kings to the title four times and he is also in first place in terms of most wins as a captain. Apart from this, Dhoni has also scored more than 500 runs in batting in this tournament. However, it is being reported that Dhoni is currently playing his last IPL season and will announce his retirement soon.

Talking about the playoffs qualification scenario, GT are the only side who have qualified till now while CSK and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are both on 15 points. A win in their final games will take them to the playoffs with CSK facing Delhi Capitals (DC) and LSG facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, a loss will open the door for RCB or MI to finish in the Top 2.
