<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League 2023</a> is coming to its business end. All teams are still in contention mathematically and the units placed in the lower half of the table beating top-ranked teams may change the equations here.

The sixth week's matches have been quite a journey. Low-score matches to high-scoring chases, we saw it all. Among all the actions, there were some that left everyone spellbound, a few batting performances in particular. Those performances impacted the match in a broad way.&nbsp;

The top-five batting performances from week six feature three Indian batting performances along with two displayed by overseas stars. Most interestingly, the top three performances have come while chasing targets.

It tells how much the standard has increased in the cash-rich league. Special mention to Nehal Wadhera, Mahipal Lomror, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson who displayed memorable outings but couldn't make it to the final five.

After several innings, Jos Buttler finally found his golden touch back in the 52nd game of the ongoing season. The England captain was hungry to contribute to his franchise Rajasthan Royals. In this match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he delivered arguably his season's best knock in a crucial game for RR. Jos took his time to settle in, he never looked in a hurry.&nbsp;

He was once at 20 off 20 after the end of the eighth over. From there on, he accelerated his batting gear in such a way that he added 75 runs off the next 39 balls. Anything pitched short at him got hammered into the crowd. He was making the pacers err in terms of their lengths. When Jos gets going, it's tough to bowl at him. He went after Marco Jansen, and Vivrant Sharma and took them to the cleaners.

The way he constructed the innings was a commendable job. He read knuckle balls from Bhuvneshwar Kumar's hand and scored boundaries. He was bound to get to his sixth IPL century, but was denied by Bhuvi who got him plumb leg before the wicket.

Wriddhi 'Superman' Saha, that's what he's referred to nowadays. Apart from being a world-class keeper, he's showing his batting skills as well in the ongoing IPL. The Siliguri-born player has been slotted in the opening position just to attack inside the powerplay. And he's doing justice to the job perfectly, laying down cushion for other batters to come.&nbsp;

Wriddhiman is not known for muscle power and relies most on his elegant timing and finding the gaps. Against Lucknow Super Giants, he started off dictating the pacers from first over. Saha kept moving in the crease to make room for himself and free his arms and he did that quite successfully against Mohsin Khan, who was making his comeback.&nbsp;

His fearless batting was well complemented by Shubman Gill from the other end. They both added 142 runs off 73 balls making it the highest partnership for Gujarat Titans in IPL history. Saha slowed down his batting attack a bit against spinners and eventually got out to Avesh Khan. His batting laid the foundation for a big score and GT posted 227 runs on board.&nbsp;

A match that was hyped for Virat Kohli's homecoming saw Phil Salt taking the limelight with his swashbuckling innings. Except for his 59-run score against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Salt had a forgetful IPL with the bat leading into the game against RCB.&nbsp;

Chasing a score of 182, on a track that was deemed slow by many experts before the start of the game, saw RCB batters dominate in phases and notch up 181. Phil Salt provided Delhi Capitals with the much-needed start they were looking forward to in the match.

Salt went after every ball delivered at him. The way he pulled one off Josh Hazelwood for a maximum indicated a special innings was brewing. Things got heated in the fifth over when he attacked Siraj with two sixes and one four. Salt continued with the momentum, he casually bagged boundaries off Karn Sharma and Mahipal Lomror's bowling.&nbsp;

Phil's 45-ball 87 show stole the deal for DC. His batting dominance got them through in the end. Salt looked fearsome against pace bowling, he played most of the shots on the front foot. Later in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-press-release/our-momentum-is-building-nicely-philip-salt-after-delhi-capitals-rout-rcb-at-home/">post-match presentation</a>, he emphasised the same and about the intent to play positive cricket.

In cricket, they say, form is temporary but class is permanent. It is indeed the case, a man who got three golden ducks one after another is now smacking every bowler at his will. After a sedate start to the ongoing season, Suryakumar picked up momentum during the second half. The Mumbai-born got himself in the middle inside powerplay against Royal Challengers Bangalore.&nbsp;

Chasing a good enough total of 200 at Wankhede, SKY assessed the condition quite well. He forged a partnership with Nehal Wadhera. On the back of a blistering start given by Ishan Kishan, both Wadhera and Suryakumar got the advantage to get their eyes in before playing aggressive cricket.

After arriving at the crease, Suryakumar took charge and smoked boundaries one after another. He continued to play acrobatic shots, making the bowlers clueless about where to pitch the ball.&nbsp;

Suryakumar went after Mohammed Siraj as he kept dictating the pacer to bowl into his areas of strength. But the big 20-run over against Wanindu Hasaranga sealed the game in Mumbai's favour. Then in the next over against Vijaykumar Vyshak he smoked 16 runs in three balls before getting out to a slower one.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is continuing his dream run in this edition's IPL. The Mumbai batter has been in sensational form. Chasing a modest total of 150 on a slow Eden track wasn't as effortless as Jaiswal made it look. With Sanju Samson, he chased down the total inside the 14th over to boost RR's net run rate.&nbsp;

From ball one, Jaiswal made his intentions clear. He got after the part-timer Nitish Rana who came in to bowl the first over. He went after the Kolkata Knight Riders' skipper and accumulated 26 runs in the very first over, making it the joint-second most expensive first over in IPL history. He continued from there on, though he lost Jos Buttler to a run-out. He played some picturesque shots all along the ground.&nbsp;

Jaiswal brought up the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/fastest-fifties-in-ipl-history/">fastest IPL half-century</a> when he touched the 50-run mark in just 13 balls. His batting carnage with Sanju Samson took the game away from KKR inside the powerplay. He spared no bowler, and took his chances and those paid off well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
