In the opening match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, spectators were first treated to the fireworks of Ruturaj Gaikwad, followed by an amazing show with the bat by Shubman Gill.

Generally considered to be a batter-dominated format, the T20 extravaganza saw every team invest most of their purse in getting some of the best batsmen for themselves. In this article, we take a look at the batting depth of all the teams in the tournament and discuss how promising each of them looks.

The rankings are based on certain parameters such as a solid top order, stable middle order, and explosive lower order, and are also a representation of the potential each batting unit has.

Let's look at the batting depth of each of the 10 IPL teams:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-punjab-kings-pbks/">Punjab Kings</a> is one of those franchises that don't shy away from splurging big on players. However, their purchasing game hasn't yielded the desired results yet as Punjab still looks to end the trophy drought. In the opening slot, they have star Indian batter Shikhar Dhawan, who will have to play big if Punjab are to place any contention for the trophy. Punjab lacks other experienced batting options after the unavailability of Johnny Bairstow, but they do have Prabhsimran Singh in a supporting role.

At No.3, they could play Bhanuka Rajapaksha who is an explosive left-hander who will be crucial for the PBKS in the middle overs. Coming to their middle order, they have a few options in Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma, followed by Sam Curran at No.6.&nbsp;

They have a few loopholes to plug in the lower middle order as their top seven, although decent, seems overly dependent on a few Impact players. On a scale of 1-10, Punjab's batting depth can be rated 6 / 10.&nbsp;

Lucknow Super Giants have had a pretty good start in the IPL. Finishing third as a new entrant in the IPL while competing against top teams shows the core strength of the team. Carrying the run forward, LSG would look to replicate their performance from the previous year and make the 2023 season count for the KL-Rahul-led franchise.

Starting with the openers, they have <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/kl-rahul-and-quinton-de-kock-are-biggest-strengths-of-lucknow-super-giants-aaron-finch/">KL Rahul</a> and Quinton de Kock who will start the innings for them. At No.3, there is Deepak Hooda who had a prolific season in the IPL 2022. in the middle order, they could use Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis or Kyle Mayers. However, with de Kock missing the first match on account of national commitments, Mayers is likely to don the role of an opener.

This will give them the best possible set of players in the Top 6 with at least 2 left-handers. They have a problem in the lower middle-order positions where they lack players who can give those crucial finishing touches. They have Ayush Badoni, the delightful youngster who could be used in the middle overs so that someone like Marcus Stoinis can bat a little deep and look to give the finishing touch. They have limited backup options to choose from, which could prove to be a little vulnerable in front of a quality bowling attack. On a scale of 1-10, Lucknow's batting can be given 6.5 / 10.

The 5-time champions were not in the groove at all in the IPL 2022 as we don’t see MI finishing at the bottom of the table very often. Skipper Rohit Sharma didn't look to be in tune for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-mumbai-indians-mi-4825/">Mumbai Indians</a> last year but will have to bounce back this time around as his performance will be a big factor in Mumbai qualifying for the playoffs. Rohit Sharma will be seen opening the innings along with Ishan Kishan which will enable him to take his time and play a few balls before going all guns blazing.

Mumbai have an ideal No.3 in the form of Surya Kumar Yadav, who is expected to play a crucial role in MI's run. They will also be keen to play Cameron Green who can bat in the power-play with a strike rate of nearly 140 and can give them a few overs in the middle with the ball. They can choose between Tilak Verma and Tim David to fill in the no.5 and no.6. There are also players like Tristan Stubbs and Dewald Brevis who will also be available for them.

MI have a proper top six but will have to look for combinations to sort out the lower middle-order concerns. On a scale of 1-10, this batting lineup can be given 7 / 10.

<img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1677135232893_David-Warner.jpeg" alt="David Warner" loading="lazy"><figcaption>David Warner. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-delhi-capitals-dc/">Delhi Capitals</a> are having to deal with a huge blow after Rishabh Pant's exclusion from the IPL 2023. The Delhi squad could have a compromised unit while attempting to counter the void created by Rishabh Pant. However, they still boast a few key players who are match-winners by themselves. To begin with, they have Prithvi Shaw and David Warner to open the batting for them.

At No.3, they can play Mitchell Marsh, subject to his fitness. They also have the Under-19 star Yash Dhull and Lalit Yadav who could also be included in the line-up. At No.4, they could have either Rovman Powell or Rilee Roussouw to add more firepower to the unit.

To strengthen the middle and the lower middle order, Sarfaraz Khan, Philip Salt and Axar Patel are likely to be included in the mix. Other than the players mentioned, they have limited options. However, even with the available players, they can come up with a decent depth in their batting line-up. On a scale of 1-10, this unit can be given 7.3 / 10.

This is one of the few teams that have a pretty strong middle order. To begin with, they have a few players like Mayank Agarwal, Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram who could be looked at to form the opening pair.&nbsp;

But, to accommodate an impact batter like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-call-him-the-machine-mayank-agarwal-extols-newly-appointed-srh-skipper-aiden-markram/">Mayank Agarwal </a>at the top, skipper Aiden Makram might be seen pushing himself down to No.4. That will sort out 2 experienced and quality batters in the top 4 including Rahul Tripathi at No.3.&nbsp;

Coming to their middle order, their first priority would be to play Heinrich Klaasen, Harry Brook and Glenn Philips. To provide further depth, they could have Washington Sundar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which will also strengthen their bowling. Their top seven or top eight has everything that a proper batting line-up needs. On a scale of 1-10, Sunrisers Hyderabad can be given 7.5 / 10&nbsp;based on their batting depth.

The 2-time IPL champions are having to deal with a huge blow in absence of their regular skipper and India player Shreyas Iyer, after he suffered a back injury in the Border Gavaskar trophy. The management has named <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/want-to-lead-in-my-own-way-nitish-rana-on-being-asked-to-choose-among-present-and-former-captains/">Nitish Rana</a> as the skipper of KKR for this season.

After excluding Shreyas, they still have some experienced IPL players in their arsenal, one of them being the newly-appointed skipper himself. Looking at their squad, the best possible options in the Top 3 are Rahmanullah Gurbaz/ Liton Das, N Jagadeesan and Nitish Rana. In the middle order, they have Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer, who played at No.4 in Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, 2022.

In the lower middle order, they have Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Shardul Thakur who could be crucial power-hitters, giving them depth in batting as well. But, in the absence of a proper Indian international, they could be slightly vulnerable to the quality bowling attack of the IPL teams. They could try out different arrangements with these players in the Top 7 in order to figure out the perfect match-winning combination. On a scale of 1-10, this batting unit can be given 7.8 / 10.

<img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680286062037_MS-Dhoni.jpeg" alt="MS Dhoni" loading="lazy"><figcaption>MS Dhoni. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Chennai Super Kings have a good squad and a set of stable players for various roles. To begin with, they have options like Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad as probables to open the innings. For the slot at no.3, they could go with Ambati Rayudu or an experienced Ajinkya Rahane.

In the middle overs, they have options like Moeen Ali/Shivam Dubey, Ben Stokes and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/former-india-skipper-and-legend-sunil-gavaskar-reflects-on-what-makes-ms-dhoni-stand-out/">MS Dhoni</a> who could anchor and even accelerate the run rate with their power-hitting abilities. To add to the long batting lineup of CSK, Ravindra Jadeja who will be their X-factor, can bring stability and be a link to both the batting and the bowling outfits.

While these few players who are named here aren’t the only ones, playing them in the XI is going to keep CSK ahead in the competition. On a scale of 1-10, this batting depth deserves to be given 8 / 10.

Royals stand third in this ranking of IPL teams with the best batting unit. The runners-up of the IPL 2022 made some smart picks at the auction again, giving them the luxury to carefully choose each player for a specific role. Jos Butler who had a terrific season in the last IPL amassing 863 runs at a strike rate of 149, will be seen opening the batting again for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-videos/ipl-2023-strongest-playing-xi-for-rajasthan-royals-rr-on-paper-rr-full-squad-2023/">Rajasthan Royals,</a> along with Yashaswi Jaiswal.

Apart from the openers they have a good blend of Indian and overseas players who could form a very strong and stable middle order. With the likes of Paddikal, Hetmyer,&nbsp; Samson(C), Parag and Holder, Rajasthan's batting line-up could be very dangerous, as they have players who can strike at 140+ right from the openers till No.6 or 7.

Players like Ashwin, if included in the playing XI, will give more depth to the RR batting and could have the best-seven for them to start the IPL. On a scale of 1-10, Rajasthan Royals' batting unit can be given 8.1/ 10.

2. Royal Challengers Bangalore

<img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680084298174_Virat-Kohli.jpeg" alt="Virat Kohli" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Returning to Bengaluru after four years, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-royal-challengers-bangalore-rcb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCB's</a> core was retained for this year’s IPL and we shall see quite a good number of options to choose from while forming the playing 11. Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli will be the ones starting their innings, and would look at the availability of Rajat Patidar who would be the ideal no.3 for them. They surely have an option in Suyash Prabhudesai who had a pretty decent SMAT in 2022.

Coming to the middle order, the first choice would be Glenn Maxwell; subject to Maxwell's form, there are options like Michael Bracewell who could come in as an explosive left-handed batsman. As always, RCB have Dinesh Karthik who can be explosive as well as capable of anchoring if there is a batting collapse while being at No.6 . Of the squad, Mahipal Lomror will be ideal at No.5&nbsp; as a decent left-handed batting option in the top six. RCB could play Shahbaz Ahamad and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-2023-5-players-who-might-miss-few-matches-due-to-national-duty-4679/">Wanindu Hasaranga</a> at no.7 and no.8 respectively, to give more depth to the batting.

Looking at this Top 8, there is a perfect blend of explosive power-hitters and batsmen who could anchor the innings. There are also players who could deliver a few overs in bowling as well. Overall, RCB have batting till No.8 if they set up the right combination. On a scale of 1-10, this batting lineup can be given 8.2 / 10.

<img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680336054197_Shubman-Gill.jpeg" alt="Shubman Gill" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The team which surprised all of us the most when they came in IPL 2022 was arguably Gujarat Giants. Gujarat managed to not only qualify for the playoffs but also won the title in their maiden season. Such was the effectiveness of the GT squad that the management didn’t do anything beyond retaining the core of their team. Star players of Gujarat's last campaign <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/concern-for-gujarat-titans-will-be-their-top-order-if-shubman-gill-does-not-fire-aaron-finch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shubman Gill</a>, Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan and David Miller were all retained ahead of the 2023 IPL Auction.&nbsp;

If we take a look at the squad of Gujarat Titans we see they have a fixed spot for the core players of the group except for David Miller who will miss a few games initially. Shubhman Gill will open the batting along with Wriddhiman Saha who was stupendous in the last season while opening for Titans. He gives those explosive starts to the team and enables Gill to anchor and move the game at a steady pace. Coming in at 3 for the Titans could be Kane Williamson who would be a perfect fit for the spot.&nbsp;

The middle order could have players like KS Bharat, Hardik Pandya and David Miller; as it will provide a balance between the power-hitting options and the slow-starters who could perfectly complement each other. Each one of them has the capability to slow down the game if it demands and then show their power game in the death overs.&nbsp;If we look at the lower middle order, Gujarat have players like Rahul Tewatia and Odean Smith who could give depth to the batting line-up and could also chip in with a few overs at any stage of the game. Overall, if we were to create a proper top-seven for this team, we would have plenty of options to choose from, which makes the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-match-1-gujarat-titans-gt-predicted-playing-xi-vs-chennai-super-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gujarat Titans</a> batting line-up arguably the best in the IPL 2023. On a scale of 1-10, this batting unit, based on the parameters, can be given 8.5 / 10.&nbsp;

The 2-time IPL champions are having to deal with a huge blow in absence of their regular skipper and India player Shreyas Iyer, after he suffered a back injury in the Border Gavaskar trophy. The management has named <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/want-to-lead-in-my-own-way-nitish-rana-on-being-asked-to-choose-among-present-and-former-captains/">Nitish Rana</a> as the skipper of KKR for this season.

In the middle overs, they have options like Moeen Ali/Shivam Dubey, Ben Stokes and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/former-india-skipper-and-legend-sunil-gavaskar-reflects-on-what-makes-ms-dhoni-stand-out/">MS Dhoni</a> who could anchor and even accelerate the run rate with their power-hitting abilities.

While these few players who are named here aren’t the only ones, playing them in the XI is going to keep CSK ahead in the competition. On a scale of 1-10, this batting depth deserves to be given 8 / 10.

<h3>3. Rajasthan Royals</h3>

Royals stand third in this ranking of IPL teams with the best batting unit. The runners-up of the IPL 2022 made some smart picks at the auction again, giving them the luxury to carefully choose each player for a specific role. Jos Butler who had a terrific season in the last IPL amassing 863 runs at a strike rate of 149, will be seen opening the batting again for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-videos/ipl-2023-strongest-playing-xi-for-rajasthan-royals-rr-on-paper-rr-full-squad-2023/">Rajasthan Royals,</a> along with Yashaswi Jaiswal.
Apart from the openers they have a good blend of Indian and overseas players who could form a very strong and stable middle order. With the likes of Paddikal, Hetmyer,&nbsp; Samson(C), Parag and Holder, Rajasthan's batting line-up could be very dangerous, as they have players who can strike at 140+ right from the openers till No.6 or 7.
Players like Ashwin, if included in the playing XI, will give more depth to the RR batting and could have the best-seven for them to start the IPL. On a scale of 1-10, Rajasthan Royals' batting unit can be given 8.1/ 10.

<h3>2. Royal Challengers Bangalore</h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680084298174_Virat-Kohli.jpeg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>

Returning to Bengaluru after four years, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-royal-challengers-bangalore-rcb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCB's</a> core was retained for this year’s IPL and we shall see quite a good number of options to choose from while forming the playing 11. Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli will be the ones starting their innings, and would look at the availability of Rajat Patidar who would be the ideal no.3 for them. They surely have an option in Suyash Prabhudesai who had a pretty decent SMAT in 2022.
Coming to the middle order, the first choice would be Glenn Maxwell; subject to Maxwell's form, there are options like Michael Bracewell who could come in as an explosive left-handed batsman. As always, RCB have Dinesh Karthik who can be explosive as well as capable of anchoring if there is a batting collapse while being at No.6 . Of the squad, Mahipal Lomror will be ideal at No.5&nbsp; as a decent left-handed batting option in the top six. RCB could play Shahbaz Ahamad and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-2023-5-players-who-might-miss-few-matches-due-to-national-duty-4679/">Wanindu Hasaranga</a> at no.7 and no.8 respectively, to give more depth to the batting.
Looking at this Top 8, there is a perfect blend of explosive power-hitters and batsmen who could anchor the innings. There are also players who could deliver a few overs in bowling as well. Overall, RCB have batting till No.8 if they set up the right combination. On a scale of 1-10, this batting lineup can be given 8.2 / 10.

<h3>1. Gujarat Titans</h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680336054197_Shubman-Gill.jpeg" alt="Shubman Gill" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>

The team which surprised all of us the most when they came in IPL 2022 was arguably Gujarat Giants. Gujarat managed to not only qualify for the playoffs but also won the title in their maiden season. Such was the effectiveness of the GT squad that the management didn’t do anything beyond retaining the core of their team. Star players of Gujarat's last campaign <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/concern-for-gujarat-titans-will-be-their-top-order-if-shubman-gill-does-not-fire-aaron-finch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shubman Gill</a>, Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan and David Miller were all retained ahead of the 2023 IPL Auction.&nbsp;
If we take a look at the squad of Gujarat Titans we see they have a fixed spot for the core players of the group except for David Miller who will miss a few games initially. Shubhman Gill will open the batting along with Wriddhiman Saha who was stupendous in the last season while opening for Titans. He gives those explosive starts to the team and enables Gill to anchor and move the game at a steady pace. Coming in at 3 for the Titans could be Kane Williamson who would be a perfect fit for the spot.&nbsp;
The middle order could have players like KS Bharat, Hardik Pandya and David Miller; as it will provide a balance between the power-hitting options and the slow-starters who could perfectly complement each other. Each one of them has the capability to slow down the game if it demands and then show their power game in the death overs.&nbsp;If we look at the lower middle order, Gujarat have players like Rahul Tewatia and Odean Smith who could give depth to the batting line-up and could also chip in with a few overs at any stage of the game. Overall, if we were to create a proper top-seven for this team, we would have plenty of options to choose from, which makes the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-match-1-gujarat-titans-gt-predicted-playing-xi-vs-chennai-super-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gujarat Titans</a> batting line-up arguably the best in the IPL 2023. On a scale of 1-10, this batting unit, based on the parameters, can be given 8.5 / 10.&nbsp;

The 16th edition of the <a href="https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrOqWT8BChkyqAWKhpXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNncTEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZANBRFRFU1RTMTJfMQRzZWMDc3I-/RV=2/RE=1680373117/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.crictracker.com%2ft20%2fipl-indian-premier-league%2f/RK=2/RS=zUqQ1ICaogRcgz3ZU2JxHIhCp1U-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> has begun and in no time has been set ablaze by some dazzling batting display. In the opening match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, spectators were first treated to the fireworks of Ruturaj Gaikwad, followed by an amazing show with the bat by Shubman Gill.
Generally considered to be a batter-dominated format, the T20 extravaganza saw every team invest most of their purse in getting some of the best batsmen for themselves. In this article, we take a look at the batting depth of all the teams in the tournament and discuss how promising each of them looks.
The rankings are based on certain parameters such as a solid top order, stable middle order, and explosive lower order, and are also a representation of the potential each batting unit has.
<h3>Let's look at the batting depth of each of the 10 IPL teams:</h3>
<h3>10. Punjab Kings</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1672570630139_Shikhar-Dhawan.jpeg" alt="Shikhar Dhawan" loading="lazy">

</figure>
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-punjab-kings-pbks/">Punjab Kings</a> is one of those franchises that don't shy away from splurging big on players. However, their purchasing game hasn't yielded the desired results yet as Punjab still looks to end the trophy drought. In the opening slot, they have star Indian batter Shikhar Dhawan, who will have to play big if Punjab are to place any contention for the trophy. Punjab lacks other experienced batting options after the unavailability of Johnny Bairstow, but they do have Prabhsimran Singh in a supporting role.
At No.3, they could play Bhanuka Rajapaksha who is an explosive left-hander who will be crucial for the PBKS in the middle overs. Coming to their middle order, they have a few options in Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma, followed by Sam Curran at No.6.&nbsp;
They have a few loopholes to plug in the lower middle order as their top seven, although decent, seems overly dependent on a few Impact players. On a scale of 1-10, Punjab's batting depth can be rated 6 / 10.&nbsp;

<h3>9. Lucknow Super Giants</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/featureimage/KL-Rahul-vs-KKR.jpg" alt="KL Rahul vs KKR" loading="lazy">

</figure>
Lucknow Super Giants have had a pretty good start in the IPL. Finishing third as a new entrant in the IPL while competing against top teams shows the core strength of the team. Carrying the run forward, LSG would look to replicate their performance from the previous year and make the 2023 season count for the KL-Rahul-led franchise.
Starting with the openers, they have <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/kl-rahul-and-quinton-de-kock-are-biggest-strengths-of-lucknow-super-giants-aaron-finch/">KL Rahul</a> and Quinton de Kock who will start the innings for them. At No.3, there is Deepak Hooda who had a prolific season in the IPL 2022. in the middle order, they could use Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis or Kyle Mayers. However, with de Kock missing the first match on account of national commitments, Mayers is likely to don the role of an opener.
This will give them the best possible set of players in the Top 6 with at least 2 left-handers. They have a problem in the lower middle-order positions where they lack players who can give those crucial finishing touches. They have Ayush Badoni, the delightful youngster who could be used in the middle overs so that someone like Marcus Stoinis can bat a little deep and look to give the finishing touch. They have limited backup options to choose from, which could prove to be a little vulnerable in front of a quality bowling attack. On a scale of 1-10, Lucknow's batting can be given 6.5 / 10.

<h3>8. Mumbai Indians</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1679472267680_Rohit-Sharma.jpeg" alt="Rohit Sharma" loading="lazy">

</figure>
The 5-time champions were not in the groove at all in the IPL 2022 as we don’t see MI finishing at the bottom of the table very often. Skipper Rohit Sharma didn't look to be in tune for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-mumbai-indians-mi-4825/">Mumbai Indians</a> last year but will have to bounce back this time around as his performance will be a big factor in Mumbai qualifying for the playoffs. Rohit Sharma will be seen opening the innings along with Ishan Kishan which will enable him to take his time and play a few balls before going all guns blazing.
Mumbai have an ideal No.3 in the form of Surya Kumar Yadav, who is expected to play a crucial role in MI's run. They will also be keen to play Cameron Green who can bat in the power-play with a strike rate of nearly 140 and can give them a few overs in the middle with the ball. They can choose between Tilak Verma and Tim David to fill in the no.5 and no.6. There are also players like Tristan Stubbs and Dewald Brevis who will also be available for them.
MI have a proper top six but will have to look for combinations to sort out the lower middle-order concerns. On a scale of 1-10, this batting lineup can be given 7 / 10.

<h3>7. Delhi Capitals</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1677135232893_David-Warner.jpeg" alt="David Warner" loading="lazy">

</figure>
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-swot-analysis-of-delhi-capitals-dc/">Delhi Capitals</a> are having to deal with a huge blow after Rishabh Pant's exclusion from the IPL 2023. The Delhi squad could have a compromised unit while attempting to counter the void created by Rishabh Pant. However, they still boast a few key players who are match-winners by themselves. To begin with, they have Prithvi Shaw and David Warner to open the batting for them.
At No.3, they can play Mitchell Marsh, subject to his fitness. They also have the Under-19 star Yash Dhull and Lalit Yadav who could also be included in the line-up. At No.4, they could have either Rovman Powell or Rilee Roussouw to add more firepower to the unit.
To strengthen the middle and the lower middle order, Sarfaraz Khan, Philip Salt and Axar Patel are likely to be included in the mix. Other than the players mentioned, they have limited options. However, even with the available players, they can come up with a decent depth in their batting line-up. On a scale of 1-10, this unit can be given 7.3 / 10.

<h3>6. Sunrisers Hyderabad</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Abhishek-Sharma.jpg" loading="lazy">
<figcaption></figcaption>
</figure>
This is one of the few teams that have a pretty strong middle order. To begin with, they have a few players like Mayank Agarwal, Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram who could be looked at to form the opening pair.&nbsp;
But, to accommodate an impact batter like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-call-him-the-machine-mayank-agarwal-extols-newly-appointed-srh-skipper-aiden-markram/">Mayank Agarwal </a>at the top, skipper Aiden Makram might be seen pushing himself down to No.4. That will sort out 2 experienced and quality batters in the top 4 including Rahul Tripathi at No.3.&nbsp;
Coming to their middle order, their first priority would be to play Heinrich Klaasen, Harry Brook and Glenn Philips. To provide further depth, they could have Washington Sundar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which will also strengthen their bowling. Their top seven or top eight has everything that a proper batting line-up needs. On a scale of 1-10, Sunrisers Hyderabad can be given 7.5 / 10&nbsp;based on their batting depth.

<h3>5. Kolkata Knight Riders</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680072653196_Nitish-Rana2.jpeg" alt="Nitish Rana" loading="lazy">

</figure>
The 2-time IPL champions are having to deal with a huge blow in absence of their regular skipper and India player Shreyas Iyer, after he suffered a back injury in the Border Gavaskar trophy. The management has named <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/want-to-lead-in-my-own-way-nitish-rana-on-being-asked-to-choose-among-present-and-former-captains/">Nitish Rana</a> as the skipper of KKR for this season.
After excluding Shreyas, they still have some experienced IPL players in their arsenal, one of them being the newly-appointed skipper himself. Looking at their squad, the best possible options in the Top 3 are Rahmanullah Gurbaz/ Liton Das, N Jagadeesan and Nitish Rana. In the middle order, they have Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer, who played at No.4 in Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, 2022.
In the lower middle order, they have Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Shardul Thakur who could be crucial power-hitters, giving them depth in batting as well. But, in the absence of a proper Indian international, they could be slightly vulnerable to the quality bowling attack of the IPL teams. They could try out different arrangements with these players in the Top 7 in order to figure out the perfect match-winning combination. On a scale of 1-10, this batting unit can be given 7.8 / 10.

<h3>4. Chennai Super Kings</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680286062037_MS-Dhoni.jpeg" alt="MS Dhoni" loading="lazy">

</figure>
Chennai Super Kings have a good squad and a set of stable players for various roles. To begin with, they have options like Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad as probables to open the innings. For the slot at no.3, they could go with Ambati Rayudu or an experienced Ajinkya Rahane.
In the middle overs, they have options like Moeen Ali/Shivam Dubey, Ben Stokes and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/former-india-skipper-and-legend-sunil-gavaskar-reflects-on-what-makes-ms-dhoni-stand-out/">MS Dhoni</a> who could anchor and even accelerate the run rate with their power-hitting abilities. To add to the long batting lineup of CSK, Ravindra Jadeja who will be their X-factor, can bring stability and be a link to both the batting and the bowling outfits.
While these few players who are named here aren’t the only ones, playing them in the XI is going to keep CSK ahead in the competition. On a scale of 1-10, this batting depth deserves to be given 8 / 10.

<h3>3. Rajasthan Royals</h3>

The runners-up of the IPL 2022 made some smart picks at the auction again, giving them the luxury to carefully choose each player for a specific role. Jos Butler who had a terrific season in the last IPL amassing 863 runs at a strike rate of 149, will be seen opening the batting again for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-videos/ipl-2023-strongest-playing-xi-for-rajasthan-royals-rr-on-paper-rr-full-squad-2023/">Rajasthan Royals,</a> along with Yashaswi Jaiswal.

Looking at this Top 8, there is a perfect blend of explosive power-hitters and batsmen who could anchor the innings. There are also players who could deliver a few overs in bowling as well. Overall, RCB have batting till No.8 if they set up the right combination. On a scale of 1-10, this batting lineup can be given 8.2 / 10.

<h3>1. Gujarat Titans</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/1680336054197_Shubman-Gill.jpeg" alt="Shubman Gill" loading="lazy">

Such was the effectiveness of the GT squad that the management didn’t do anything beyond retaining the core of their team. Star players of Gujarat's last campaign <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/concern-for-gujarat-titans-will-be-their-top-order-if-shubman-gill-does-not-fire-aaron-finch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shubman Gill</a>, Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan and David Miller were all retained ahead of the 2023 IPL Auction.&nbsp;
If we take a look at the squad of Gujarat Titans we see they have a fixed spot for the core players of the group except for David Miller who will miss a few games initially.

On a scale of 1-10, this batting unit, based on the parameters, can be given 8.5 / 10.&nbsp;

IPL 2023: Rating teams based on their batting depth

The rankings are based on certain parameters such as a solid top order, stable middle order and explosive lower order, and also represent the potential each batting unit has.

IPL 2023: Read on to find out about the 10 IPL teams and their batting depth and rank them from 1 to 10.
