The upcoming season of IPL is the fourteenth edition of it, known as Vivo IPL 2021. The matches are scheduled from 9th of April to 30th of May in six different venues across the country unlike 8 like the previous 12 seasons. As is common knowledge IPL is one of the most entertaining and most followed cricket tournaments across the world.
The championship brings together some of the most talented cricketers across the world to play together in teams. While this makes up for aggressive combinations, the age-old combination of a right-handed and a left-handed batsman batting together or the talent of a left-handed bowler brings extra strength to the teams. Not every team is lucky enough to have a left-hander in their midst but some teams possess the best left-handers that are a threat to the opposition.
Here is a list.
David Warner:
He is an Australian left-handed batsman and also a leg-spin bowler. In 2015 he got the chance of captaining the Sunrisers Hyderabad team for the first time. Later in 2016 with his brilliant batting performance and captaincy he made his team reach the final and won the first Indian Premier League IPL title for his team. He is a 3-time orange cap winner and has some of the best numbers among international players.

His highest score in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is 106runs in 2020. He has two century and 42 half-centuries with a strike rate of 126.87. Dhawan won the 2016 Indian Premier League (IPL) with Sunrisers Hyderabad after giving his best batting alongside cation David warner.
Dhawan became the first batsman in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to score back-to-back hundreds and on the same day, he became one of the five batsmen to knock the 5000 runs mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhawan, who currently plays for the Delhi Capitals (DC), is another great player and is one that the opposition must watch out for.

His exceptional batting has made him an Indian Premier League (IPL) legend and he also is amongst the top run-getters in the league. He has 5368 runs in 193 matches.
