IPL 2020: Leading run scorer for every franchise in the tournament's history
Over the years, there have been a few batsmen who have emerged as the lynchpins of their respective batting line ups and etched their names in the hearts of fans with their stupendous exploits with the willow.
6. Ajinkya Rahane- Rajasthan Royals(RR)
If you wanted to see a batsman who played textbook cricket even in a format known for slam-bang power-hitting, then it had to be Ajinkya Rahane. Bestowed with the rare virtue of timing, Rahane’s ability to embellish the cricketing arena with pristine drives and flicks marks him out as a special talent.
The diminutive right-hander played 93 innings for the Rajasthan Royals side and scored 2810 runs at an average of 34.26. Rahane has also scored 2 hundreds and 17 fifties for the Rajasthan franchise.
Rahane’s highest score in IPL cricket is the 105* that he scored against the Delhi Capitals in the 2019 IPL edition. However, his hundred was not enough for Rajasthan to secure a win as Pant’s 36-ball 78 stole the show. Rahane will turn out for the Delhi Capitals in the 2020 edition of the IPL.
