Chennai Super Kings – Ravindra Jadeja (Rs 7 Crore); Highest earning player – MS Dhoni (Rs 15 Crore)
Just like Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja has improved his T20 batting by leaps and bounds in the past couple of seasons.
Jadeja has consistently chipped in with whirlwind cameos at the death. Even in the last season, where CSK struggled, Jadeja was the lone shining light as his swashbuckling knocks at the back end helped the MS Dhoni-led unit post a defendable total.
In 11 innings in IPL 2020, Jadeja smashed 232 runs at an average of 46.40 and at a blistering strike rate of 171.85.
He carried his form this season as well, as he smoked 131 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 161.72, which also included a maniac 28-ball 62* against RCB in which he scored 37 runs in one over of Harshal Patel.
Add his outrageous fielding and his more than handy bowling, Jadeja is undoubtedly the MVP of CSK currently.
