mong the other top 10 batsmen on the basis of their respective MRR include: Venugopal Rao (Hyderabad), Shane Watson (Jaipur), Gautam Gambhir (Delhi), Graeme Smith (Jaipur), Yusuf Pathan (Jaipur), Adam Gilchrist (Hyderabad), David Hussey (Kolkata) and Rohit Sharma (Hyderabad).

A similar analogy can be drawn for bowlers where the top performers are ranked purely with respect to wickets. Among those who have picked 10 or more wickets, the lowest MSR has been recorded by Manpreet Gony and D Kulkarni who are representing Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, respectively.

Both the players have picked 11 wickets each at an MSR of Rs 1.09 lakh/wicket. Compare that with South African bowler Shaun Pollock who has picked 10 wickets for the Mumbai team at Rs 22 lakh/wicket. Other top bowlers include Yo Mahesh (Delhi), Ashish Nehra (Mumbai), Sohail Tanvir (Jaipur), Shane Watson (Jaipur), Dwayne Bravo (Mumbai).

Incidentally, the top five wicket takers during the first month of IPL are all specialist bowlers: RP Singh, Shane Warne, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and S Sreesanth. However, as against those who have topped the MSR charts, these bowlers have picked wickets at a rate of more than Rs 10 lakh/wicket given their high signing amount.

Among the players who have failed to match up to their high pay packets are Herschelle Gibbs (Hyderabad), Shahid Afridi (Hyderabad), Jacques Kallis (Bangalore), Yuvraj Singh (Mohali), Suresh Raina (Chennai), among others. While MS Dhoni, the highest paid IPL player roped in for a staggering Rs 6 crore, has made his 332 runs at an MRR of almost Rs 2 lakh per run.
