5. Gautam Gambhir (KKR) – 501 runs
The fierce Delhite, Gautam Gambhir has certainly transformed the struggling fate of the Knights in IPL. The two-time IPL winner, Gauti was central to KKR making it to the play-offs this season. Along with Robin Uthappa, Gambhir gave Kolkata many good starts throughout the tournament. The gritty batter scored 501 runs at an average of 38 with five half-centuries to his credit. The left-hander had made slight technical moderations in his game and was seen playing more side-on this time. And it has rubbed on in his performances as well.
