Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma makes it to the list

Rishabh Pant might have been on the receiving end for his poor shot selection but he is one of the most explosive batsman in the shortest format. The IPL also gives him a license on display his natural batting ability. The young wicket-keeper batsman made it to the list of batsmen who have troubled Brad Hogg the most in IPL.

Besides him, Hogg picked up, swashbuckling West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, Glenn Maxwell, Chris Gayle and Dinesh Karthik. Surprisingly enough, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni missed out from the list.
