IPL 2020: Top 5 run-scorers in the tournament after the first week
These batsmen would be expected to take charge for the entire season for their respective franchises.
3. Mayank Agarwal (Kings XI Punjab)
Agarwal has scored 115 runs in 2 innings, at a strike rate of 143.75. With an average of 57.50, he has a highest score of 89 to his name. He has hit 11 fours and 4 sixes in the 2 games he has played.
His innings of 89 against Delhi Capitals is one of the best knocks by an Indian batsman that have come while chasing in a losing cause. He brought KXIP out of terrible situation at 35/4, to needing 1 run off the final 3 balls. However, he would have been extremely disappointed that he could not finish the game.
He supported KL well with a fluent 26 in the game against Bangalore. They had an opening stand of 57 runs in 7 overs which set the tone of the innings and allowed KL to play his natural game towards the death overs. His form is also very important for KXIP’s campaign this time around.
