IPL 2024: Rating performances of teams

The 17th edition of the IPL 2024 came to an end with KKR winning their third IPL title. The tournament was mostly dominated by the batters whereas the bowlers struggled to be in the contests. There were run fests all over and many records were broken in the tournament. It was one such edition where the bowlers were nearly irrelevant and near to nothing. If not for the second half, things would have been worse.

The domination of either MI or CSK was missed in the season and the likes of KKR, SRH, and RR were the top sides of the tournament. Some teams punched above their weight and put on a great performance. Others just did not live up to the expectations. While some teams had an insane comeback in the league, other teams collapsed to get going after a good start in the league. 

Here's the ranking of all teams based on their performance in the league:

10. Gujarat Titans - 4/10

Gujarat Titans finished 8th in the tournament. But they were probably the worst side of the edition. None of their batters or bowlers were in good form. Some of their key players were either out of touch or were consistent. They never took off after the first three matches and seemed too easy to be beaten.

9. Mumbai Indians - 4.5/10

Mumbai Indians, for the squad they had, performed underwhelmingly. The 5-time champions suffered the wooden spoon for the second time in three seasons. While MI had many players who did individually well, they could not do well as a team. Hardik Pandya was not accepted well by the fans and it was rather a forgettable season for them.

8. Punjab Kings - 5/10

The Punjab Kings had a good bowling lineup. Their finishing had good emerging talents. But their top-order batting cost them a lot of games. The home conditions suited their style of play with good bowling wickets. Outside the home, they were not competitive enough. For the 10th time in a row, they failed to make it to the playoffs.

7. Lucknow Super Giants - 6/10

Lucknow Super Giants had a good first half where they won 4 of their first 5 matches. At that point, an impressive youngster, Mayank Yadav, sustained an injury, which meant a huge dent in LSG's performances. After getting a good start, LSG collapsed. Their wins were determined by the performances of Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran.

6. Delhi Capitals - 6/10

Delhi Capitals did not have a good start. In their first 5 matches, the North Indian franchise lost 4 and seemed to suffer a wooden spoon. But giving a chance to Jake Fraser-McGurk turned out to be a masterstroke. His presence in the side helped them to win a lot of matches. But towards the last 3-4 matches, they couldn't sustain the momentum.
