IPL 2019: The biggest hitter of each team

Modified Jan 17, 2019 15:22 IST

Royal Challengers Bangalore - AB de Villiers

The Bangalore-based franchise has been blessed to have two of international cricket's biggest superstars, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Although Virat Kohli's consistency is phenomenal and hitherto unseen, AB de Villiers has a slight edge over Kohli in terms of hitting big sixes. No boundary is big enough when de Villiers is on the roll.

AB de Villiers has scored at a strike rate of 150 in his IPL career and has hit 187 sixes, most of which have landed either on the top tier or flown out of the stadium. His contribution to the RCB middle order is invaluable.

Kolkata Knight Riders - Andre Russell

Andre Russell is the most valuable all-rounder in the Indian Premier League at the moment. Russell isn't only the jack of all trades, but master of them too. With the bat, he can smash huge sixes and with the ball, he can uproot the stumps.

On his day, Russell can tear apart any bowling without breaking a sweat. He has scored at a dangerous strike rate of 177 in the IPL so far. Fans got to see the magnitude of the damage he can do at his best during his knock of 88 off just 36 balls against CSK last season.
