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.
3. Rishabh Pant (162.70)
Rishabh Pant announced his arrival in the world cricket with an excellent under-19 world cup. When Dhoni was at the end of his career, India was looking answers for all the questions Dhoni was leaving behind. A wicketkeeper-batsman, more of a batsman than a keeper, ability to the ball long and will power to start hitting the ball from the first ball made Pant a popular choice.
Rishabh was drafted into Delhi Daredevils on the back of his excellent U19 world cup in 2016 and was retained for the next year as well. He performed quite well for a young batsman with excellent strike rate even when his father passed away on the eve of their 1st match against RCB.
2018 came up as the year he was waiting for, his innings of 128* against SRH was one for the ages as he launched firecracker after firecracker in the sky which never landed on the ground itself.
The poster boy of Delhi Capitals has already scored 94 sixes in his 54 innings career with 6 not outs which tells us how well he has handled finishing for his franchise. This 22-year-old stumper hits a boundary or a six on every 4th ball of his IPL innings which makes him the most attacking Indian batsman in the cash-rich league. With age on his side, the sky is the limit for Pant and he can take these numbers to an even bigger stage.
