Revealing the list of top 3 batsmen in the history of the IPL Chopra named Mr. IPL Suresh Raina and Indian Skipper Virat Kohli as the 3rd best and the 2nd best batsman. It came as a surprise to many as many were expected one of these two names to be at the top. Since then fans were expecting the names of either Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni or Mr. 360 degree AB De Villiers as the best IPL batsman of all time. However, Aakash Chopra shocked everyone with his choice.
Chopra made a very interesting choice by picking David Warner as the best batsman over Kohli and Raina. Explaining his decision Chopra said that Warner has represented multiple franchises over the years and also he is a foreigner so it is difficult for him to adjust than other Indian batsmen. Despite all this, the left-handed southpaw is on-par with Kohli and Raina in the IPL so he deserved to be ranked as the best.
