Yuvraj had a disappointing outing with the bat in the tournament as he scored 225 runs in 14 matches at an average of 21.25 without a single half-century.

Punjab finished at the bottom of the standings in IPL 3, having won just four matches out of 14 in the group stages.

Royal Challengers Bangalore opener Jacques Kallis was awarded the most consistent performer.

Kallis has been Bangalore's top performer in the tournament as he top scored with 553 runs from 15 matches, while also scalping 11 wickets.

Bollywood's top stars Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif also performed at the event.

Two of Indian cricket's biggest stars -- Mumbai Indians captain Sachin Tendulkar and Chennai Super Kings skipper Dhoni -- were conspicuous by their absence at the mega event.

Harbhajan, who has taken 17 wickets in the tournament, was given the best dramatic performance award.

The winners were judged by a jury comprising Lalit Modi (Chairperson), Sunil Gavaskar, Brian Lara, Javagal Srinath, Simon Taufel, and Harsha Bogle.

Mumbai Indians' all-rounder Kieron Pollard was awarded the best debut performance in IPL 3.

After a slow start, Pollard made his presence felt with a couple of attacking innings along with a few wickets.

The West Indies youngster has so far made 246 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 179, while also taking 14 wickets to lead Mumbai's charge into the IPL final.

The Awards Night was boycotted by the top brass of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. BCCI president Shashank Manohar, secretary N Srinivasan, and IPL vice-chairman Niranjan Shah stayed away from the event.

The entire IPL Governing Council, barring Sunil Gavaskar and IS Bindra, also shunned the event though most of the players were present.
