IPL 2021: Predicting top run getter for each team

3. Mumbai Indians: Ishan Kishan

The Jharkhand wicket-keeper batsman had recently scored a swashbuckling 173 in a domestic tournament. And this year, we expect him to top the charts for Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai-based franchise was dominant throughout the tournament last year. With multiple superstars in their playing eleven, there was no doubt that they will lift the trophy at the end of the season. 

Last year, Kishan was in stellar form. He scored 516 runs off 354 balls. With a strike rate of 145.76, he was able to demolish every bowling attack. And this year too, we expect him to lead from the front. Even with the presence of modern-day giants like Rohit Sharma and Pollard, he tends to be more attacking than them!

Ishan has been in superb form. Not only in the IPL, but he has left a mark in the domestic tournaments as well. He was so consistent that he made it to the national squad this year. With the T20 world cup approaching, he might give some headaches to the national selectors! Therefore, we expect him to become the top run-scorer for the Mumbai Indians.
