A team has a good chance of winning the game if they do well in the powerplay. Especially with the bat, the team has to take the maximum chances to make utilization of the field restrictions. While some batters are naturally suited for this role, some players usually take some time before they start going for the big shots. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best powerplay batters for the upcoming season of IPL 2024.
1) Rajasthan Royals – Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson
Rajasthan Royals have got the perfect opening combination that a team can have. In Buttler and Jaiswal, they have a combination that can take on all types of bowlers. Plus, they don’t take a lot of time to get going.
At one down, they will have captain Sanju Samson, who is good against both pace and spin. He also offers good intent in the powerplay.
2) Delhi Capitals – Prithvi Shaw, David Warner and Mitchell Marsh
Delhi Capitals is one of the teams with the best powerplay batters for the upcoming season of IPL 2024. There were rumours that DC would release Prithvi Shaw. However, they have retained him and that shows that the franchise has confidence in him.
In Warner and Marsh, DC has got two firebrand T20 cricketers. Although Warner takes some time now, he still is a threat to the bowlers in the powerplay.
3) Mumbai Indians – Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav
Rohit Sharma seems to have got his form back. The fans will be keen to witness this side of Rohit Sharma in IPL 2024. Ishan Kishan will also be desperate to do well and he has the ingredients to do well.
If MI loses an early wicket, SKY would be a better fit to continue in the middle-order. We know his skills in making use of the field restrictions. Tilak Varma can then take care of the run-scoring in the middle order.
