With the culmination of round-robin or lease stage matches, IPL 2018 heads into its final week. Just four matches remain now in the IPL 2018, including the final on Sunday, May 27. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) made it to the playoffs after gruelling league stage matches. The first round of IPL 2018 comprised of 56 matches as we witnessed some riveting clashes.

As IPL 2018 now moves into next round- Playoffs, we take a look back at the round-robin stage of the tournament through some stats:

Most Runs: Delhi Daredevils’ wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant at the end of the league stage matches has emerged as top run-getter. The left-handed batsman managed to score 684 from 14 matches at an average of 52.61. Besides a century, Pant smashed five half-centuries. The Delhi batsman may not end with most runs this season as SRH captain Kane Williamson is just three runs behind him and he has at least two matches at his disposal. IPL 2018 Orange Cap

Fastest Century: Only four batsmen managed to register the three-figure mark in the league stage. Chris Gayle playing for KXIP was the first batsman to reach the milestone. CSK’s Shane Watson, however, was the fastest to score a century. The former Australian cricketer took 51 balls to compact the ton. Pant, on the other hand, took 56 balls.

Fastest Fifty: KL Rahul was in superb form throughout the season. In his first outing for KXIP, the talented right-hander smashed fifty of just 14 balls- fastest-ever in IPL history. Rahul bettered Yusuf Pathan and Sunil Narine’s 15-ball fifties sacred in 2014 and 2017 editions respectively.
