While Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant will lock horns in the Qualifier 1 tomorrow, defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad will be going head on against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the eliminator clash on 18th May.

The group stage saw some terrific performances being dished out by almost all the teams with some remaining consistent throughout to qualify for the playoffs. Mumbai Indians were arguably the best all-round team in the tournament with most of their players clicking together as a unit, It was again a season for the batsmen and some of the individual innings took IPL by storm. So with the group stage done and dusted let’s have a glance at 5 top knocks from the group stage of IPL 10.

Chris Lynn- 93* of 41 deliveries (Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Lions)

The man from Queensland took the IPL by storm in only the 3rd game of the tournament as he belted the Gujarat Lions bowlers all around the Saurashtra Cricket Stadium. The spectators were treated to some scintillating display of strokeplay by the swashbuckling batsman as Knight Riders chased down the stiff target of 184 with more than 5 overs to spare.

He also shared an unbroken 184 runs partnership with captain Gautam Gambhir as Kolkata won with all 10 wickets in hand. Lynn went berserk from the outset and kept smashing the listless GL bowlers to different parts of the ground. His innings of 93 contained 6 fours and 8 sixes and it was carnage on display for the Rajkot crowd. This innings set the tone for KKR for the remaining games.

Rahul Tripathi- 93 of 52 deliveries (Rising Pune Supergiant v Kolkata Knight Riders)

The youngster has been one of the most consistent performers in the tournament and has provided Rising Pune Supergiant with sensational starts on quite a few occasions. He has outshone Ajinkya Rahane and his captain Steve Smith in the run scoring department and on this very day, he made light work of the KKR bowlers as he stormed his way to a 52 balls 93 as RPS chased down KKR’s target quite comfortably in the end.

It was stroke making at its very best as the young gun literally toyed with the KKR bowlers. He smashed left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav for 4 sixes and also treated Umesh Yadav with disdain. His extra cover drive was arguably the shot of the day and his innings contained 9 fours and 7 hits over the fence. Courtesy his innings RPS romped home by 4 wickets and with 4 deliveries to spare.

Rishabh Pant- 97 of 42 deliveries (Delhi Daredevils v Gujarat Lions)

Getting accolade from none other than Sachin Tendulkar is a big achievement and itself and it was what Rishabh Pant received from the master after his masterly innings of 97 of 42 deliveries against the Gujarat Lions which helped Delhi chase down the target of 208 with 3 overs to spare. Tendulkar said that it was one of the best innings he has witnessed in all these 10 editions of the tournament.

He blasted the Gujarat bowlers all round the park. It was carnage on display and Pant was unleashing the big shots almost every ball. He kept smashing sixes towards the on side and his innings of 97 contained as many as 9 sixes and 6 fours. It was brutal hitting by the pocket-sized dynamo and he deserved a century. But at the score of 97 a lapse in concentration brought about his downfall but innings ensured Delhi kept their playoffs hopes alive.

On a personal front, I don’t remember someone so young making a good bowling line-up look clueless and the southpaw deserved every credit of it. It was just magical hitting as everything came from the middle of his bat. There wasn’t an area where he didn’t score. Though he preferred the leg-side, he was as efficient on the off side as well.

Ben Stokes- 103* of 63 deliveries (Rising Pune Supergiant v Gujarat Lions)

(Photo: IANS)</figcaption>

The English all-rounder became the most expensive foreign player in the history of IPL when he bagged a whopping Rs. 14.5 crores during the IPL auctions. He was proving his worth with the ball but wasn’t firing all cylinders with the bat which changed on 1st May. The southpaw smashed an unbeaten match-winning century which helped Pune chase a stiff target after getting reduced to 10/3 at one stage.

He came to the crease with Pune sliding down the barrel but he resurrected the innings with his audacious strokeplay and smashed to his way to his maiden IPL century to announce his arrival with the bat. He was especially severe on the spinners and smashed 7 fours and 6 sixes during his entertaining knock.

During crunch situation, it was the southpaw who unleashed the big shots which kept Pune in the hunt. It was sublime hitting by one the best all-rounders at the moment and he did his reputation no harm and justified his worth in the auctions.

David Warner- 126 of 59 deliveries (Sunrisers Hyderabad v Kolkata Knight Riders)

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-140406" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/David-Warner-IPL.jpg" alt="David Warner Sunrisers Hyderabad" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-140406" class="wp-caption-text">Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner celebrates his century.. (Photo: IANS)</figcaption>

The captain of the defending champions smashed the best innings of the league stage during a crunch game against the Knight Riders which kept them in the race for the playoffs. It was just insane strokeplay, to say the least. The Southpaw literally toyed with the KKR bowlers and stormed his way to a blistering 126 of a mere 59 deliveries which contained 10 fours and 8 sixes.

He raced his way to a century within the first 10 overs and looked set for a world record double century if he remained till the last. His reverse sweeps and switch hits all went over the fence as KKR captain Gautam Gambhir was left scratching his head for options. He began with a barrage of boundaries in the powerplay and then treated the spinners with disdain.

He was eventually dismissed by a well disguised slower delivery by Chris Woakes but by then he had literally tormented the star-studded KKR bowling line-up. Courtesy his innings, SRH defeated the two-time champions by a big margin of 48 runs.
