Friends Team Selector is back, 37 matches over 23 left to decide the champions. Two more franchise are added for next edition, and money is pooling from every where. But we are here to discuss about the players who stand up to be in the Dream Team. In my last edition of Team Selector i selected people more on their talent as they haven’t played to much games at that juncture, but here is the team based only on sheer performance.

1. Sachin Tendulkar ©: If Mumbai Indians are performing well and they are at the top of table than it is mainly because of The Master. He has taken his role perfectly with bat and captaining the side, he is currently second highest run getter and at a very high strike rate, he also bats through the innings with building strategy around him.
   

2. Jacques Kallis: Most accomplish all-rounder of all time, is the leading run-getter of this edition of IPL, with 419 runs in his kitty at an average of more than 100 runs and strike rate of 129, made his an automatic choice as a opening batsman.
   

3. Murli Vijay: He stated late, but late is better than never started, he is a class and act never looks a big hitter but he proves all of them wrong. In his last game he register the second biggest of the tournament with 127 runs in just 59 balls with 11 towering sixes. Apart from this his previous inningswas also a grace.

4. Saurabh Tiwari: Well this Jharkhand captain has maintained his class. He contributes with bat in almost all the innings he has played. Harsha Bhogle has said “ the Franchise whose Indian domestic player will play good hand in the team ha an upper hand above the rest, and this goes with Tiwari.

5. Yusuf Pathan: In words of Shane Warne “he is a flotter, a match winner and a real entertainer, he can won games single handedly and can contribute with the boll also. He is now playing a opening bowler role for. He is the most dangerous bats man of this format a 37 ball 100 followed by 8 sixes and 78 runs speaks for him, he can win matches single handle. But as a had indicated in my previous blog that he needs to be careful with short pitch delivery, same has happened but its now his time to rise up to the occasion.

6. Dinesh Karthik (wk): The Delhi Dare Devils wicket keeper is scoring as well as winning matches for them, he now surely likes he has come out of age, and now replaces Dhoni to be the team keeper.

7. Shane Watson: Two half centuries at a strike rate of 190 describes his ability with the bat he is also a very handy bowler. Though he arrives late for RR but he has carried his summer form to the IPL 3, and every won knows what he can do in pitch and IPL 1 speaks his volume

8. Anil Kumble: He is a JUMBO to his mates the former leggie and one of the greatest spinner of all time is the most economical bowler he is very hard to hit by and takes wickets on consistent basis, a ferocious leader and a complete team man purely dedicated to what he does.
   

9. Amit Mishra: The Delhi Daredevils are on a roll. Another semi-final spot beckons them. Most of the talk revolves around their batting line-up, which, despite AB de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan’s no-show, is formida- ble. But nobody has a word on Amit Mishra, the bowler with the Purple Cap. It’s a pity for this tiny leg- spinner has been a tower of strength for the Daredevils. He has 14 wickets so far and has- n’t let his non-selection to the India squad for the Caribbean come in the way
