It is quite shocking to see the Australian T20 star Glenn Maxwell missing out on the BBL 11 team of the year. Even after hitting 2 centuries and scoring the highest runs in the history of BBL, Maxwell did not get the opportunity to be in the BBL 11 team of the year. The openers Ben McDermott and Josh Philippe, Daniel Sams, and Peter Siddle got the maximum number of votes to win places in the BBL 11 team.

McDermott is the highest run-scorer in the tournament with 577 runs including back-to-back centuries. He hit 110* against the Strikers and 127 against the Renegades respectively and impressed all.

The coaches selected Peter Siddle as the captain of the team. He is the highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 29 wickets. He led the Strikers to win straight 6 matches and entered the final three last night.

Josh Philippe, Mitch Marsh, Matt Short, Hayden Kerr Joe Clarke, Andrew Tye, Sean Abbott, and Jason Sangha also joined the above-mentioned players in the team. Also, 10 of these 13 cricketers were featured in cricket.com.au's team of the tournament.

In a T20 tournament like IPL, it is important for every team to have a quality set of players who can score runs at a fast pace. Particularly, this is most required in the death overs when the team is looking to score quick runs. These big hitters play a crucial role in the campaign of all the teams in each IPL season.

One of the most basic criteria for judging a batter for his fast scoring is his strike rate.

In this particular article, we will be discussing the IPL facts about 10 batters who have registered the highest strike rate in the cash rich league. These include the players who have scored a minimum of 2000 runs in the tournament history.

IPL Facts | Highest Strike Rate in IPL History

10. Suryakumar Yadav | 145.32

The Indian Cricket Team T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav's success on the international stage is built on the foundation of his IPL career, particularly his stint with the Mumbai Indians (MI), where he made his reputation as a versatile and reliable middle-order batter. 

Through his 150 IPL matches, SKY has accumulated 3594 runs while maintaining an outstanding strike rate reaching 145.32. His significant fifty and two double hundred scores have consistently helped Mumbai Indians during crucial moments.

9. Hardik Pandya | 145.61

Hardik Pandya, the Indian all-rounder and Mumbai Indians (MI) captain holds the 9th position in this list. In his IPL career of 137 matches, Pandya has scored a total of 2,525 runs with 10 half-centuries. His strike-rate reads 145.61.

Hardik has also contributed to his team's bowling department by taking 64 wickets with an economy rate of 9.09.

Besides representing MI, Pandya also led Gujarat Titans to the title in their maiden IPL season (2022). He returned the MI setup following the 2023 season, in a record all-cash trade.

8. Kieron Pollard | 147.32

Mumbai Indians legend Kieron Pollard holds the 8th position in this list. Known for striking the ball hard, Pollard was one of the tournament’s finest power hitters.

Since his debut in 2010, Pollard competed in 189 matches while scoring 3412 runs. He managed to put up these numbers at an impressive strike rate of 147.32 with 16 half-centuries.

Pollard was one of Mumbai's batting mainstays throughout his career. His best performances for them came in 2013, where he scored 420 runs in the season, and in 2015, where he smashed 419 runs. Both were seasons where Mumbai lifted the trophy as well.

7. Jos Buttler | 147.92

Jos Buttler holds the seventh position in this list. He has been a consistent performer for Rajasthan Royals ever since he signed for the team before the Indian Premier League 2018 season.

Before joining the Royals, Buttler represented Mumbai Indians in the 2016 and 2017 seasons and while he fared decently with them, it was after joining the Royals that the Englishman truly hit his stride in the IPL.

Buttler scored 3582 runs in 107 games at an average of 38.10 and a strike rate of 147.92. His first season with the Royals saw him score 548 runs at an average of 54.80 and strike rate of 155.24. The tally included five half-centuries.

6. Rishabh Pant | 148.93

Rishabh Pant, who made his IPL debut in 2016, has played 111 matches in the Indian Premier League so far scoring 3284 runs with an average of 35.31 and strike rate of 148.93. He has one century and 18 half-centuries to his name.

Pant joined the Delhi Capitals in 2016 after he performed exceptionally in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, where India finished as the runners-up under Ishan Kishan’s leadership. Pant was a teenager then and from there on he did not look back.

During the 2018 Indian Premier League, Rishabh Pant scored an unbeaten 128 from 63 balls for Delhi Capitals in IPL. It is Pant's highest-ever individual score in IPL.  

5. Chris Gayle | 148.96

Chris Gayle has been the most destructive batter in the T20 set-up. Gayle is the fifth-highest batter with best strike rate in IPL (minimum 2000 runs).

In a career spanning from 2009-2021, the left-handed batsman has amassed 4,965 runs from 142 matches at an incredible average of 39.72. He owns a strike rate of 148.96.

Gayle scored 193 runs in ten games in IPL 2021.

4. AB de Villiers | 151.68

AB de Villiers had a 13-year-long career in the IPL where he played for two teams, namely Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

He's counted among one of the greatest players to have played in the tournament, being the fourth-highest batter with best strike rate in IPL.

de Villiers scored 5162 runs in his IPL career from 184 matches (170 innings) at an average of 39.70 and a strike rate of 151.68 with three hundreds and 40 fifties.

3. Virender Sehwag | 155.44

The cricket community is aware of what Virender Sehwag has achieved in his career. He was one of the best openers India ever had. But in the IPL, he had a different aura. 

Sehwag played for teams like Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and scored 2728 runs in 104 games. Indeed, he has also slammed a century in the tournament. Interestingly, his strike rate in the league is 155.44.

2. Glenn Maxwell | 156.73

The second name in this list is Glenn Maxwell in terms of keeping the highest strike rate in the IPL.

Maxwell began his IPL journey with Delhi Daredevils in 2012. The Australian all-rounder then represented Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab, before landing with Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

The 36-year-old has turned out in 134 IPL matches, scoring 2771 runs at a strike rate of 156.73. He has also picked 37 wickets at an economy rate of 8.28.

1. Andre Russell | 174.92

Andre Russell has the highest strike rate in IPL for a batter with minimum 2000 runs. His figures are much more impressive considering his long career with KKR and the innings he has played. 

Playing 127 IPL matches, Russell has scored 2484 runs at a commendable strike rate of 174.92. 

He has eleven half-centuries with a high score of 88 not out in the IPL. Russell has many times won games for KKR on his own in very difficult situations.

Australia started their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign on a winning note as they chased down the highest successful chase in tournament history. Australia chased down England's 352-run target with 15 balls remaining in the match. Jos Inglish was the star of the show with his maiden ODI ton during the chase. 

Ben Duckett dismantled the Australian bowling lineup with a recurrent breaking 165, the highest score by a better in Champions Trophy history. But, Australia ensured they made the highest successful chase in ICC Men's ODI events. Here's everything you need to know from the England vs Australia ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match.

Smith decided to bowl keeping the dew in mind

Steve Smith won the toss and decided to field first keeping the dew in mind. Ben Dwarshuis dismissed Phil Salt early in the second over. Despite a flying start to the innings, Dwarshuis was able to send back Jamie Smith for 15 in the sixth over as England found them at 43/2 after 5.2 overs.

But, then it was the partnership between Ben Duckett and Joe Root that took them to a record-breaking score. They first accumulated well to get their first fifty from 48 balls while Ben Duckett completed his fifty off 49 balls.

Root and Duckett build a solid partnership for England

Joe Root did his part by completing his fifty from 56 balls as they reached the 100-run mark for the third wicket in 94 balls. But, post his fifty, Duckett changed his gear instantly and his skill against the Aussie spinners was a masterclass from the southpaw opener.

But, after Root was trapped in front of the wicket by Adam Zampa, Ben Duckett lost support from the other end and England missed out on maybe 10 or 15 runs at the end.

Duckett's 3rd ODI ton gave England the momentum

Duckett went on to get his 100 off 95 balls, his 3rd ODI ton. Then he changed to fifth gear alongside captain Jos Buttler. Although Buttler was caught in the deep by Nathan Ellis off Glenn Maxwell, Duckett continued his slog and soon reached 150 off 134 balls.

He was finally dismissed by Marnus Labuschagne on 165 off 143 balls. Archer added a quick 21 from 10 balls to take England's total to 351/8 in the first inning.

Australia got off a flyer but lost wickets early

Just like England, Australia got a quick start but lost two wickets early. Travis Head was dismissed on 6 off 5 by Jofra Archer in the 4th over while Steven Smith was dismissed by Mark Wood for 5 in the next over. But, then, Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Short stitched a 95-run partnership to give others a platform to chase down the total.

With both Labushcagne and Short finding the gaps easily, they reached the 100-run mark in the 15th over and kept themselves in the chase. Meantime, Short reached his fifty in 47 balls but Marnus was outfoxed by Adil Rashid on 47 off 45 balls in the 20th over.

Though it looked a bit tough for the Aussies, who had not won a game in the ICC Champions Trophy in 16 years, they had batters with immense talent in the middle order.

Carey and Inglis steadied the ship

Jos Inglis, born in England, always had the game to win games for Australia, but needed to prove that now. Meantime, they had their most in-form batter in Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell to come as well.

Livingstone dismissed Short (63) with a sharp caught and bowled chance in the 23rd over and it was then the partnership between Inglis and Carey that took Australia near to home. For the 5th wicket, they put up 100 runs in just 78 balls while Inglis completed his fifty. Australia reached the 250-run mark in the 38th over and Carey also completed his fifty off 49 balls.

Maxwell and Inglis finished things off

However post Carey's (69) dismissal in the 42nd over, things could have gone either way but Glenn Maxwell made sure he made things easier for them. Inglis eased to his maiden ODI ton while Maxwell started hitting the ball powerplay from the other end.

In the end, it was a comfortable win for the Aussies as Inglis remained unbeaten on 120 from 86 balls while Maxwell was undefeated on 32 from 15 balls. All the English bowlers except for Adil Rashid went more than 6 runs an over and that made it hard for Jos Buttler to control the game.

Buttler accepted that the score was good from but the dew affected more than he had expected. "Both sides played well, credit to Australia. fantastic innings from Inglis. 350 is a pretty good score, but it was wet and the dew was a worry," Buttler said.

"The guys were outstanding. Matt Short played beautifully, Travis and I the only two to miss out," Australian captain Steve Smith said in the post-match presentation. 

The 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 is back with more excitement and star-studded line-ups to entertain the fans. Famous power-hitting stars like Dinesh Karthik, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, and Marcus Stoinis are joining in. Rashid Khan and Lockie Ferguson are also there to bring the heat in.

Two New Teams Join the Fight

Earlier, the tournament played 8 teams, which got increased to 10 this year. This season sees two new teams: Bolts Ajman and UP Nawabs. More teams mean more action. The tournament is ready for high energy.

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are all set to face each other in the Eliminator of the ongoing IPL 2024 season on Wednesday, 22nd May, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. When RR and RCB met earlier this season, the Royals won that game by five wickets comfortably but they are currently in a very poor form. On the other side, RCB are coming after six straight victories so it is going to be an epic clash at Ahmedabad. From possible playing XIs to Dream11 predictions, here is everything you need to know about the RR vs RCB match in IPL 2024.

The Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL 2024 match will be televised on Star Sports Network. All the Indian Premier League matches will be streamed free on the Jio Cinema app and website.

Pitch & Weather Report

The pitch of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has changed a lot. It was a solid batting pitch but black soil has been used and now it helps the slower bowlers. Batters will have to score runs in the powerplay because, with the progression of the match, the wicket will get slower and tricky for batting. The average 1st innings total in T20 internationals is 160 while the 2nd innings total is 140. 

The temperature in Ahmedabad on 22 May can go as high as 45 degrees Celsius and rain should not play any role in the match.

RR vs RCB: Head-to-Head Record

Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have faced each other in 26 matches. KKR have been the dominant force, winning 17 games while SRH have won only 9.

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals finished third in the points table with 17 points but they aren't in good form. They are coming after three straight losses and their last game was washed out due to rain. Jos Buttler has returned to England so Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the inning with Tom Kohler-Cadmore. He doesn't have any sort of IPL experience as Tom has played only one game in the tournament. Jaiswal is in poor form and he must step in a huge knockout game like this.

Sanju Samson has been the most crucial player for Rajasthan in the top order, scoring 504 runs in 13 innings. Riyan Parag is set to bat at no 4 and he has been brilliant for the side. He has already scored 531 runs for RR in 13 innings which speaks volumes. Dhruv Jurel has played some crucial cameos here and there but hasn't been consistent.

Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma are expected to feature as the leading pace bowlers with Avesh Khan bowling the death overs. Avesh has bowled some critical overs but Boult's performances in the recent few matches haven't been that good. The same problem lies with Sandeep too. But, the duo can cause some problems for RCB in Ahmedabad's pitch.

Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a sensational spell against CSK but his economy is the most concerning part. He has failed to show his pure qualities this season but can turn up in a huge game like this against his former franchise. Ashwin can also cause problems in Ahmedabad's pitch although scalping wickets has been the most challenging part for the ex-CSK spinner this season.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB have won their last six games comfortably and are playing top-tier cricket right now. They qualified for the playoffs after delivering a complete team performance against Chennai Super Kings at home. Virat Kohli is in great form and is the Orange Cap holder with 708 runs. He is by far the best batsman of this season. Faf has been inconsistent but has played some really good knocks too including last match's half-century.

Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik played brilliant cameos in the last game and they can provide a very good finish. The team is looking quite confident and are the favourites in this game. Cameron Green and Patidar have contributed with some great innings in the last few matches including the partnership they made against CSK.

The best batting line-up in every sense! 💥

The issues in bowling have been resolved a lot lately. Mohammed Siraj who was struggling to bowl one decent over, is bowling quite confidently in the last couple of games. Bangalore don't have a good spin bowler in their squad to handle the middle overs. But, Maxwell is there and he has been very reliable with the bowl. He bowled the first over in the last game and in the first delivery, Maxwell got rid of CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Yash Dayal has bowled some sensational spells this season and he is the most important bowler for the Royals right now. His final over against CSK was one of the best overs of this IPL 2024 season. He has scalped 15 wickets until now and bowled some really good overs throughout the season. Swapnil Singh is also contributing here and there but Lockie Ferguson is the weak link. He hasn't bowled even a single decent spell this season. His economy of almost 11 is a huge concern.

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: Dream XI Team Prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Gujarat Titans in match no 66 of IPL 2024 on Thursday, 16th May, at the Rajib Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH have won 7 out of 12 they have played so far this season and are sitting at the fourth spot of the points table. The Titans are eighth in the points table with only five victories which is concerning as they were the runners-up last season and won the title in 2022 Indian Premier League title.

The Titans will be desperate to end the season on a positive note while SRH can secure their spot in the playoffs with a victory, so it will be an absolute cracker at Hyderabad. From possible playing XIs to Dream11 team predictions, here is everything you need to know about the SRH vs GT match in IPL 2024.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH are coming into this game after a dominant victory against LSG. That was a complete performance from Hyderabad and they would like to continue that. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma's opening pair has been one of the most lethal duos of the tournament and they once again delivered as SRH chased the target of 166 inside ten overs without losing any wickets.

Aiden Markram is unavailable, but Nitish Kumar Reddy hasn't disappointed with his batting. Shahbaz Ahmed and Abdul Samad are playing the role of the finisher and have done the job in some matches.

Heinrich Klaasen has played some match-winning innings this season and would like to replicate that if SRH needs him that way against GT. SRH have been part of many high-scoring games. But, captain Pat Cummins, Bhvneshwar Kumar, and T Natarajan have been very good with the ball in hand.

The pacers have scalped wickets and they are in top form. Bhuvi has got his form back and bowling some extraordinary spells in the last few matches.

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat's previous game washed out due to rain. Sai Sudharsan is in brilliant form and he is likely to open with skipper Shubman Gill once again. This is going to be GT's last game of the season and they are out of the playoffs already. But, they would like to end their season on a positive note and make the qualifications for the others more interesting by registering a victory against Hyderabad.

David Miller, Shahrukh Khan, and Rahul Tewatia will handle the middle order with Matthew Wade on their side. Rashid Khan has always been a trump card for GT. The Afghanistan spin wizard's four overs are always crucial as he can change the course of the game. Although Rashid conceded 38 runs against CSK, he returned with two important wickets. Noor Ahmed has also bowled some critical overs but he isn't consistent.

He didn't have a good game last time but will be desperate to improve. Mohit Sharma finally looked like himself during the clash against Chennai. He scalped three wickets and will try to replicate the same against SRH too. But, it will be a tough pitch to bowl. Umesh Yadav is also expected to feature against Hyderabad and GT will have to bowl well as SRH's batting lineup is too strong.
