Top 5 hits of IPL 2024

Player	Team
Virat Kohli	RCB
Travis Head	SRH
Jasprit Bumrah	MI
Sunil Narine	KKR
Riyan Parag	RR

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is the ‘Orange Cap’ holder, having scored over 700 runs this season. His strike rate was a topic of discussion throughout the season, but he proved that he knows how to win games for the team.

Travis Head

Before the start of the tournament, there were huge expectations from ODI World Cup 2023 winner Travis Head. And, he did not disappoint. The major reason for SRH’s impeccable performance is Head’s outstanding batting as an opener.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah can be considered an IPL legend. The Mumbai Indians pacer has never had a bad season. After missing the last season, he was competing for the ‘Purple Cap’ with 20 wickets.

Sunil Narine

Everyone knows Sunil Narine as a bowler, but this time he showed that he is a proper batter who can open for the team and destroy the opponent. He amassed 461 runs at a strike rate of 182.94 and also took 15 scalps.

Riyan Parag

Riyan Parag got his form back in spectacular fashion. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter scored 531 runs at a brilliant average of 59.00.

Top 5 misses of IPL 2024

Player	Team
Rohit Sharma	MI
Hardik Pandya	MI
Glenn Maxwell	RCB
Mitchell Starc	KKR
Yashasvi Jaiswal	RR

Rohit Sharma

IPL 2024 could be considered the worst season for Rohit Sharma. He was removed from captaincy, and then he did not score runs with his bat. Rohit’s form also concerned the national team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Hardik Pandya

It seemed like Hardik Pandya was cursed by someone. After taking on the MI captaincy, he faced backlashes and struggled to score runs or take wickets. Moreover, his team finished last in the points table.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell was one of the biggest flops in IPL 2024. He managed to score just 52 runs at a poor average of 6.50.

Mitchell Starc

The curse of being the most expensive player in the IPL did not spare Mitchell Starc either. Being IPL’s most expensive player, everyone was expecting an extraordinary performance from him, but he took only 12 wickets in 11 matches.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal was one of the leading run scorers in the previous season, but this time, he scored only 348 runs in 11 matches.
