Fans are eagerly waiting to watch their favorite batsman lead their teams with whooping run rates as in the end, what counts is how many runs are scored in the given time frame.

Scoring of runs quickly has been an easy task for the powerful strike rate batsman. With their smart playing style, these batsmen contribute an integral part of the IPL and make the match more entertaining for the audience. With the analysis of last IPL 2019 and their consistency rate during matches, we have listed out these power-hitter batsmen who could perform their best in the upcoming IPL 2020.

Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)

Strike rate: 186.41

An all-rounder and most sought-after talents in the IPL, Andre Russell possesses brutal power and can hit any bowler all over the park, regardless of pace or spin. Seven consecutive 40+ scores at the start of the season speak volumes about the consistency with which he has accrued 406 runs in 10 innings. Given his ranking, we are sure that he will play a key role in the team’s victories.

Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders)

Strike rate: 168.34

One of the mainstays of KKR’s bowling attack for years, Sunil Narine has 112 wickets by his name in 99 matches at an average of 22.56 and an economy rate of 6.56. In the 2017 IPL, he amassed the fastest IPL fifty against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). With this track record, he has always been one of the reliable players of the team.

Moeen Ali (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Strike rate: 165.92

Moeen Ali’s recent showings have given RCB a much-needed boost, Ali has scored 220 runs in 10 innings, with 178 of them coming in his last 5. His explosiveness has been intense, particularly in the match against KKR – where his 28-ball-66 took the game away from Kolkata. He is surely going to be one of the best in IPL 12.

Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals)

Strike rate: 162.69

Rishabh Pant is one of the three players retained by Delhi ahead of the 2018 auction, and he paid it back with a season, scoring close to 700 runs. Pant has always shown the temperament to play big innings, with his twin scores of 78 against Mumbai and Rajasthan coming to mind. Scoring 336 runs in 11 innings at an average of over 37 while striking at 163.10 is no ordinary feat, and the 21-year-old has a lot left in his tank for the coming years.

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians)

Strike rate: 154.78

A big hitter and a fast-bowling all-rounder, Hardik ticks all the boxes that a team desires from an all-rounder. His highest score this IPL is just 37, but his above 40 average shows how good he is at coming down the order and smashing it all over the park. With 241 runs in 10 innings, Hardik is making the most out of his role and is playing freely to great success. Mumbai fans would hope to see more shots sailing into the stands from the all-rounder’s bat.
