Finishing games with the bat is important for teams to win games consistently. This department requires batters with special skills. While brute power is necessary, range against pace and that mindset to take risks is also needed for the batters. On that note, here, we take a look at three teams with the best finishers in the batting department for IPL 2024.
Note: We have considered the form, the abilities and the depth of this department for rating teams in this article.
1) Kolkata Knight Riders (Rinku Singh and Andre Russell)
KKR has forged a top finishing department for IPL 2024. In fact, for the last season, as well, they had this on the roster. Since last season, Rinku Singh has become a superstar while Andre Russell has come back to form.
Rinku Singh is excellent against pace in the death overs. We all know about the capability of Andre Russell. Ramandeep Singh could also help this duo in IPL 2024.
2) Gujarat Titans (David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Abhinav Manohar and Shahrukh Khan)
Finishing games with the bat has been one of the consistent aspects of Gujarat Titans in the last two seasons. They have further improved this at IPL 2024 Auctions.
David Miller and Rahul Tewatia have done well for GT. Abhinav Manohar certainly has shown promise while Shahrukh might become the lead finisher. Rashid Khan has also offered help here and Robin Minz is a new option for the franchise.
3) Rajasthan Royals (Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell)
Rajasthan Royals is one of the teams with the best finishers in the batting department for IPL 2024. RR has a dangerous set of batters for the death overs in IPL 2024.
Rovman Powell is a top signing for the franchise. His arrival would reduce pressure on Shimron Hetmyer, which would further make him more dangerous. Hence, we have RR on this list.
