IPL 2020 ; 3 teams with the strongest batting attack

 In the IPL 2020 auction, all the teams tried to cover all the three departments of the game well. However, after two weeks of play, once again the coaches of all the franchises are learning from the mistakes made in the tournament and considering important changes. T20 cricket is considered a batsman's game and IPL has always been a run-fest for batsmen. Before the 13th season of the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings were considered to be the main contenders for the title, although their opinion has changed only after a few matches of the tournament.

 After the auction, the batting department of all the teams looked very strong. But match-by-match, it has exposed many teams. In this article, we will discuss 3 teams with the strongest batting attack after 25 matches played in IPL 13 so far.

Lokesh Rahul is the strongest side of Kings XI Punjab, who has so far scored 387 runs at an average of 55.28 in the tournament. At the same time, his partner Mayank Agarwal is at number two with 337 runs in the list of batsmen with the most runs. After the opening pair, West Indies' left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Pooran, who has been the fastest fifty of this season, cannot be forgotten.

 He scored a smashing half-century in 17 balls in the 22nd match of the tournament played against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, despite this, the Punjab team could not break the defeat. Apart from these, the team has dangerous batsmen like Chris Gayle who have become a symbol of the strength of bench strength. However, on the day he returns to the field, it is bound to rain fours and sixes.

Mumbai Indians, one of the most successful teams of the IPL, have lost only two matches so far while winning four matches. The Mumbai Indians batsmen have been a big contributor to all the wins. Team captain Rohit Sharma has been seen leading his batting department from the front. He has scored 211 runs in 6 matches played at an average of 35.17. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav appears in the form, who has scored 180 runs in 6 matches at an average of 36.

 The special thing is that in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs, Rohit is sixth while Yadav is at number 10. Apart from these two batsmen, the team has a promising batsman like Ishaan Kishan who missed out on a century by 1 run against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Hardik and Pollard, as usual, are doing well to get the balls out of the boundary line in the final overs.
