The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some surprising statistics when it comes to the strike rates of Indian batsmen. Despite the presence of big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the top three Indian batsmen with the best strike rates in IPL 2024 are not even in the T20 World Cup reserves.
According to the data, the top three Indian batsmen with a minimum of 200 runs in this year’s IPL are Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli. Surprisingly, none of them feature in the top five list of cricketers with the best strike rates in the tournament.
Virat Kohli, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has scored 500 runs from 10 innings at a strike rate of 147.49. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians, has amassed 315 runs at a strike rate of 158.29. Youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal, after a slow start, has picked up form and has scored 316 runs with a strike rate of 157.21.
With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, the form of these top Indian batsmen will be crucial for the national team. Fans and experts alike will be closely monitoring their performances in the IPL as they gear up for the upcoming global tournament.
