The top run-getter at the World Cup and the batsman with the highest score in the tournament, Martin Guptill is also one of New Zealand's top fielders. The perfect credentials to be picked in any T20 side's XI•Getty Images
Kumar Sangakkara's record-breaking feat of scoring four consecutive World Cup tons is enough testimony to the kind of form he enjoyed. His astute captaincy and world-class wicketkeeping skills add more value to the mix•AFP
Shaiman Anwar was one of the most impressive performers in the World Cup. With over 300 runs and a century, the way he counter-attacked the opposition's bowling made a mark and his aggressive batting helped UAE from being scuttled for embarrassingly low scores•Getty Images
Jerome Taylor was West Indies' top wicket-taker at the World Cup picking up 17 scalps at an average of 19.29. He is not a novice in the IPL but was ignored during the auction. Taylor's pace and ability to contain would have made him an ideal strike bowler and effective death-overs bowler•Getty Images
Rubel Hossain added loads of aggression and more than a few yards of pace to his bowling during the World Cup. The knockout punch he delivered to England was one of the highlights of the group stages and his yorkers and quick bouncers could have troubled many batsmen in the IPL•Getty Images
