#2 Adam Voges - 45.25

Adam Voges, the Australian batsman with some of the greatest numbers in all forms of cricket, had a dream start to his IPL campaign.

After losing their first three matches in the 2010 season, Rajasthan Royals included Adam Voges for the first time in the starting XI. In his first two matches, he scored 37*(22) and 45*(24) against Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab respectively. His strike rate for the first two matches was 178.26.

But things took a quick turnaround for him as his strike dipped drastically in the next five innings that he played. He scored 99 runs off 97 balls at a strike rate of 102.06 after those first two top knocks.

The dip in strike rate might be the reason for him not playing another season of IPL in spite of having a good average.

Matches: 9

Innings: 7

Runs scored: 181

Average: 45.25

Strike Rate: 126.57
