KPL 2019: Top 5 run-scorers from the Bengaluru leg

#2 Abhishek Reddy (Ballari Tuskers)

Abhishek Reddy has been consistent at the top for the Tuskers

Opening the batting for the Ballari Tuskers this season, Abhishek Reddy could not start the season on a dominating note but has put up a string of impressive scores from the last three games.

Reddy did not start too strong with almost a run-a-ball 35 against the Belagavi Panthers, while his 21-ball 24 against the Hubli Tigers failed to bring about the fluency and stroke-making that he is known for.

However, he soon found his bearings when he came up against the Bijapur Bulls, threading the gaps to perfection as he brought up his first half-century of the season, a 54-ball unbeaten 62 that led the Tuskers to a 7-wicket victory.

Against Hubli, Reddy's 23-ball 30 was the only saving grace in a batting collapse as the Tuskers were placed at 55-5 until rain intervened and handed their opponents, Bengaluru Blasters, a one-run win.

In yet another shortened match against the Shivamogga Lions, Reddy was on the attack right from the first ball as he laid the impetus for a big score with a 16-ball 34 comprised of three fours and two sixes, proving his worth at the top of the order.

From five matches, Abhishek Reddy notched up a total of 185 runs at a strike rate of 125.85.
