IPL 2019: The biggest hitter of each team

Modified Jan 17, 2019 15:22 IST

Delhi Daredevils - Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant is slowly emerging to be one of the finest young talents in world cricket. He is maverick with the bat and has already cemented his place in the Indian test team at the age of 21.

With Rishabh, it is not only the power but also the cheekiness. A powerful striker of the ball as he is, Pant is extremely adept at playing the reverse sweeps and the ramp shots in the shortest format of the game.

The Delhi Capitals have struggled with the bat in recent seasons and Pant could put an end to their misery like he did last season.

Kings XI Punjab - Chris Gayle

Christopher Henry Gayle is the most feared batsman in the history of the IPL. The Jamaican legend has hammered many bowling attacks and has been a threatening force in the IPL. After being released by the RCB, Gayle joined the KXIP franchise and had a fruitful season for them.

When everyone wrote him off before the start of the last IPL campaign, Chris Gayle proved his haters wrong and delivered for the Kings XI Punjab. Gayle's IPL strike rate is 150. He also has scored 6 hundreds in the competition and has hit more sixes than anybody else (292).
