Top 5 batsmen with highest strike-rate in IPL history
Even after having Kohlis and Rohits holding the fort for their team with long innings, there is always a need for a power hitter who can change the course of the match.
4. Glenn Maxwell (161.13)
The Australian all-rounder is a typical T20 batsman. His ability to score all around the ground is magical and dangerous for any bowler. On his day he can score boundaries at will against any bowler at any part of the ground.
The mighty Victorian pulls of any shot of cricket, some of them are yet to be written in books, with utmost swagger. His sixes reach the roof of the small Indian grounds even before our eyes can catch them. His versatility and dominance can be understood by the fact that in his 68 innings IPL career, he has batted at 5 different positions with a strike rate of over 150 at 3 of them.
Maxwell usually bats down the order and his strength lies in breaking all the chains of the field through his unorthodox shots and immense power. More than one-third of his runs have come out of sixes and this shows how hard he can hit the ball. Maxwell is one of the few Australian batsmen who play spinner brilliantly. He attacks them from the beginning which affects their confidence and adds power to his scoring rate in IPL.
