Gautam Gambhir Comes Up With a Million Dollar Response Over Virat Kohli’s Strike Rate, ‘Says What He Can Do, Glenn Maxwell Cannot’.
Sunil Narine (KKR)
'Narine 2.0' has emerged in this season under the mentor Gautam Gambhir, also his former captain. Narine is the seventh-highest run-getter, with 357 runs in eight games at an average of 44.62 and a strike rate of 184.02, with a century and two fifties. His best score is 109. Narine has shined with the ball as well, taking 10 wickets.
Phil Salt (KKR)
The in-form English batter has formed a superhit opening duo with Sunil Narine. He has scored 324 runs in eight games at an average of 46.28, with three half-centuries and a strike rate of 176.08. His best score is 89*. He is incredible at Eden, scoring 276 runs in five games at an average of 69.00 and a strike rate of 182-plus, with three fifties.
Rinku Singh (KKR)
With 112 runs in seven innings and the best score of 26, Rinku's contributions have been short, entertaining cameos that come after a top-order assault. A big knock will be a huge confidence booster for this youngster, who is all but set to play T20 WC for India.
Jake Fraser McGurk (DC)
Not the first time that a young Aussie has taken the IPL by a storm, but there is something really special about his six-hitting. In five matches this season, McGurk has scored 247 runs at an average of 49.40 and a strike rate of 237.50, with three half-centuries. His best score is 84. Another 'Fraser Storm' at Edens would be sweet for cricket fans no doubt.
Tristan Stubbs (DC)
This young South African has been a steal for Delhi this season, scoring 273 runs in nine matches at an average of 68.25 and a strike rate of over 192 and two half-centuries. On top of that, he is a very handy bowler, an electric fielder and keeps wickets as well. IPL 2024: KKR vs DC Overall Head-to-Head; When and Where To Watch Free Live Streaming Online.
