Few Things We Have Learned From IPL 2016






















We have learned few things from the ninth edition of IPL 2016,after Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Royal Challengers Banglore in Sunday's final.
1.Warner Showed Maturity:
Australia's David Warner showed a maturity belying his controversy fuelled past to captain Sunrisers Hyderabad to their maiden IPL Title,suggesting he is coming of age as a cricketer.Off-field exploits, including a bar-room punch on England's Joe Root in 2013,have often captured the headlines but Warner took this season's IPL by storm with 848 runs.The 29-years-old opener leadership skills were praised by Virat Kohli,the captain of losing finalists Royal Challengers Banglore,who said Warner,"has come a long way as a leader in this tournamnet."
2.Kohli Is Ready To Step Up:
Indian Test Captain Virat Kohli proved that he is also ready to add the job of  limited-overs skipper to his International responsibilities.He scored 973 runs in 16 matches and put his team to the finals where they lost off just 8 runs.
3.T20 Is Still A Batsman Game:
If more proof  was needed that T20 cricket was a batsman's game then the ninth edition of IPL provided it.Records tumbled and sixes rained. Virat Kohli smashed the record for the most runs in a single season by more than 200,finishing on 973,while David Warner blitzed 848.with four centuries and seven fifties,Kohli also became the all-time leading run scorer in IPL.Kohli also topped the all time sixes chart in a single season with 38 hits over the fence.He and AB de Villiers also recorded the highest ever T20  partnership with 229.
