Adam Gilchrist is IPL 2009's most valuable player.


To obtain a high rank, players are usually required to show exceptional all-round skills; single skill players rarely make it to the top.

Gilchrist hit the top because of superlative batting and wicket-keeping. His batting performance was worth 583 'runs' (he actually scored 495 runs, but his strike rate of 152 earned him 88 bonus 'runs'), while his fielding performance (as a wicketkeeper) fetched him the remaining 170 'runs.
