Venkatesh has been carrying a rich vein in the ongoing tournament, slamming back-to-back match-winning knocks.&nbsp;

In the first match of the competition, he chipped in with a 34-run innings after being called in as the Impact Player. Following a pale innings against RCB, he returned with an impactful innings against Gujarat Titans, scoring 83 runs off just 40 deliveries to help his team register a three-wicket victory.&nbsp;

The swashbuckling left-hander exuded confidence in the next game against Mumbai Indians too, where he put up a brilliant century to own the aforementioned record. Courtesy of his knock, KKR managed to post a total of 185/6, albeit on a losing cause. However, the knock would only boost his confidence to deliver more such performances for KKR, ensuring the culmination of their run in the ongoing tournament with the possession of the silverware on 28 May, 2023. Courtesy of Iyer's golden run in the tournament, he finished the second week of action at the zenith of the Orange Cap holders' chart.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/hes-the-no1-batter-in-world-harbhajan-singh-lauds-jos-buttler-after-terrific-start-to-ipl-2023-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jos Buttler</a> has picked up his form from where he left it last year. Showcasing his superb batting talent, the wicketkeeper batter has smashed three half-centuries in four games. In Rajasthan's maiden game of IPL 2023, he delivered an explosive start to his team. With 54 runs off just 22 deliveries, he took his team to be in a commanding position in the match.&nbsp;In the end, his magnificent contribution helped the team vanquish Sunrisers Hyderabad by 72 runs.

Against Delhi Capitals, he again conquered bowlers and hit 79 runs off just 51 deliveries. Banking on his ferocious batting style, Royals claimed another convincing victory in the tournament.&nbsp;

The veteran played a 52-run innings in his team’s three-run win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). So far, he has accumulated 204 runs with the bat in four matches at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 170.00. In the upcoming matches, Royals will expect him to continue his form with the bat to advance to the next round of the competition and bag the title.

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1681566364047_Virat-Kohli.jpeg" alt="Virat Kohli" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL)</figcaption>

This year, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) veteran <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/muh-phodba-kaa-virat-kohli-bursts-with-laughter-listening-to-bhojpuri-commentary-in-ipl-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> has been in sensational form. After playing some impressive innings for India in the last few months, the 34-year-old is all geared up to make IPL 2023 amazing for his team with his experience and incredible batting skills. Along with his captain Faf du Plessis, Kohli has been giving perfect starts to the team consistently.

In Bangalore’s stupendous eight-wicket triumph against Mumbai Indians (MI), Kohli played an unbeaten 82-run knock off just 49 deliveries. However, he struggled to rack up runs in the next match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but gained confidence again in the contest against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). This time, he scored 61 runs off 44 deliveries and helped his team pile up 212 runs on the board.&nbsp;

Against Delhi Capitals (DC), he scored his third fifty of the tournament, scoring dot 50 off 34 deliveries. So far, the batting icon has added 214 runs in four matches at a strike rate of 147.58.&nbsp;

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1680969111180_David-Warner-Bat.jpeg" alt="David Warner Batting" loading="lazy"><figcaption>David Warner Batting (Photo Source : BCCI/IPL</figcaption>

In Rishabh Pant’s absence, David Warner is holding the reins of Delhi Capitals (DC). Under him, the 2020 runners-up are struggling in the competition as they are yet to win their first match. However, his batting numbers have been decent so far in the marquee event. With 228 runs in five games at a strike rate of 116.92, he is the third-leading run-scorer in the tournament.

Thus far, Capitals have had nothing to cheer about from this year's campaign as they are stranded at the bottom of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-points-table/" title="points table" target="_blank" rel="noopener">points table</a> due to the failure of their key batters Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, and Rovman Powell. In these circumstances, Warner’s batting figures have been the only respite to the DC team management, giving them a sigh of relief.&nbsp;

However, the Aussie came under criticism for his sluggish knock against Rajasthan Royals (RR) but noting how other batters fared, it could be said that the franchise is helpless is left with no other option but to expect their skipper to improve his strike rate to help DC win the remaining games.

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1681060209993_Shikhar-Dhawan.jpeg" alt="Shikhar Dhawan" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Shikhar Dhawan. (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL)</figcaption>

This year, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/lsg-vs-pbks-why-is-shikhar-dhawan-not-playing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shikhar Dhawan</a> is holding the captaincy mantle for Punjab Kings (PBKS) as the franchise trusted him to lead the side due to his vast experience. Till now, the veteran has given an ideal start to the team with his leadership skills. Talking about his batting, the veteran is looking more dangerous against the opponents.

Notching up 233 runs in four contests at a strike rate of 146.54, he has made it to the top-run-scorer chart. Against Rajasthan Royals (RR), his 86-run knock powered his team to bag the match by five runs. PBKS sustained their first defeat in the competition against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) but even in the losing cause, Dhawan stood as the lone warrior and scored 99 runs off 66 balls.

The Southpaw’s batting numbers will be crucial for PBKS to fare well in the competition. Counting on his marvellous batting form, the Punjab-based franchise will look to register their presence in the Playoffs after nine years.&nbsp;
