IPL 2020: General News, Opinions and IPL Records

Highest Strike rate in an IPL Season (Minimum 200 Runs)

Russell - 204.82 (2019)
Russell - 192.90 (2015)
Hardik - 191.43 (2019)
Krunal - 191.13 (2016)
Narine - 189.89 (2018)
Maxwell - 187.76 (2014)
Pollard - 185.71 (2010)
Russell - 184.80 (2018)
Sehwag - 184.55 (2008)

Russel is a runaway leader, I am surprised to see Krunal here though!

One more thing to note is 6 of the 10 entries are for lower order bats. Sustaining high strike rate for a top order bat is a bit difficult as he will bat more in middle overs. (Unless like Naraine you are sent as a slam bang short cameos).

WIth Rohit, Viru, Kohli, Yuvi in the top order is full. GG is fighter but will surely loose against these.
