CLT20 2013: The top 5 batsmen of the tournament

This Champions League T20 has been special for more than one reason. Firstly, it was the last season for two great legends and master batsmen – Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The fact that both these players made it to the finals is a true measure of their greatness and a fitting sendoff.

Secondly, with 3 IPL teams in the top 4, it exhibits the sheer dominance of Indian cricket and promises some really talented local talent coming up.

However, alongside this, there were some really special players with memorable performances in the tournament with the bat who mesmerized the crowd and influenced their team successful run in a huge way. We look at the top 5 batsmen in CL 2013.

5. Sanju Samson

New kid on the block, 19-year-old rising wicket keeper batsman, Sanju Samson was surely the find of the tournament.  With an  impressive 192 runs from 6 games at an average of nearly 40, he surely managed to grab a few eyeballs in the Indian cricketing fraternity with his bold and clean hitting.

Also to his credit are 3 half centuries in the tournament including a blistering 60 off 33 balls in the finals against Mumbai India which almost threatened to take the game away from them.
