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.
1. Andre Russell (186.42)
This cricketer from Jamaica looks more of a wrestler than a cricketer. He muscles the ball in the crowd like Bully and opposition captain feels powerless. Russell has always been a powerhouse in batting and always had an ability to provide 4 overs to his captain.
The amusement for Russell came in 2019 when he was handling all the bowlers like toys and gave the opposition captains a serious headache. He chased down totals of above 200 with ease and his 13 ball 48 against RCB in a successful chase was a mere example of it. His strike in IPL 2019 was above 200 and it broke all possible records, this could be one of the best T20 performances from a player in a single edition of any tournament.
This mighty Jamaican can hit sixes with sheer power and he has already hit 120 sixes in IPL which comprises more than half of his runs. His excellent ability to control and change the game single-handedly makes him the most dangerous and complete finisher in IPL. Whenever an impossible situation arises, KKR looks in his direction. Whether Russell is the Most Valuable Player of IPL, that is a discussion yet to happen.
