<p>Test Cricket is the flavor of the season and so test batters. Each team is playing test cricket currently. We have England going up against India and New Zealand, Bangladesh taking on the West Indies, and Australia locking horns with Sri Lanka. So, who are the top 10 batters in the red-ball format currently? Who are the players that can flip the game with the willow in hand? Here is an in-depth look at the same:?</p>



<p>**The rating done is on current form and not on records**?</p>



<h2>10) Steve Smith is one of the top test batters:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Steve Smith and his dominance have been the talk of the town since the 2014 India Tour of Australia. Smith is a batter who has a class of his own. Off-late his performances have not been so great hence he has been placed lower on this list. The on-field antiques of Steve Smith are something that every cricket fan is aware of. He makes the boring red-ball game interesting. ?</p>



<h2>9) KL Rahul is one of the Top Test Batters:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/KL-Rahul-min.jpg" alt="KL Rahul test Batters" class="wp-image-91371" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: NDTV Sports</figcaption></figure>



<p>KL Rahul is the top test batter from India. Rahul alongside Rohit Sharma was unbeatable in the England Tour last year. His absence will be very crucial in the one-off test against England. Rahul has been dealing with injuries and has taken time off the game but when he will be back, he will be drafted directly to the main team. Rahul made a comeback to the opening spot in 2021 and ever since has made it his own. ?</p>



<h2>8) Travis Head:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Travis-Head-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Travis Head Test Batters" class="wp-image-91375" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Australian Cricket</figcaption></figure>



<p>Travis Head is a style statement! Imagine having one of the best mustaches in world cricket and beating the hell out of the bowlers. He is one of the top middle-order batters in the game at the moment. He has risen through the ranks, slowly and steadily. Head was always a part of the Australian white ball circuit as a player who has potential, but in Ashes 2021 he turned potential into performance. His 2 hundred in the series came at a strike rate of almost 100!?</p>



<h2>7) Usman Khawaja is one of the Top test Batters:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>From one Australian to another. Usman Khawaja and his performance in the 3<sup>rd</sup> Ashes test have got him this spot. After being sacked and then called back only to be given an opportunity in the middle order, Usman Khawaja has a story of his own. He made a dream comeback to the national team. Khawaja being left-handed gives the added dimension to the Kangaroos. His game against Jack Leach was too good. ?</p>



<h2>6) Jonny Bairstow:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Jonny-Bairstow-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91374" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: ICC</figcaption></figure>



<p>Jonny Bairstow is one of the most improved commodities in red-ball cricket. From his hundred in the Ashes, he has become a different player. Bairstow had a terrible 2021 test season. He was a walking wicket for the Indian team and Axar Patel was the one bullying him on the pitch. But Jonny has effectively altered his game. He believes in attacking and he has switched to the same. Bairstow was the hero for the English team in the series against New Zealand. He is also one of the faces of revolution in England white-ball cricket. ?</p>



<h2>5) Daryl Mitchell is one of the Top Test Batters:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Daryl-Mitchell-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91376" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Sportster</figcaption></figure>



<p>Daryl Mitchell is criminally underrated. He used his county experience to dominate the English bowlers in the England VS New Zealand series. The other Kiwi batters were struggling to deal with the swing of Broad and Potts while Daryl Mitchell was ripping them apart. He alongside Tom Blundell rescued the Black Caps from every difficult situation. Mitchell was a part of the county circuit since 2017 and he has invaluable experience of playing in English conditions. ?</p>



<h2>4) Rishabh Pant:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Rishabh-Pant-min-1.jpg" alt="Rishabh Pant Test Batters" class="wp-image-91372" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rishabh Rajendra Pant is an entertainer in the red-ball format. When everyone expects Rishabh to play safe, Rishabh goes big! When everyone expects Rishabh to go big, he goes big! He plays the game, the way he loves it. This makes the game entertaining. On pitches where the team is struggling to hold the fort, Rishabh uses the ?Attack is the best defense? strategy. His hundreds in Australia, England, and South Africa, and 10+ scores of 90, give a view of his potential. ?</p>



<h2>3) Babar Azam is one of the Top Test Batters:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Coming to the fab 5 now. Virat and Kane Williamson are not in the best of forms and hence are not included in the list. Babr Azam however is the reliable rock for the Men in Green! Azam bullies the bowlers! When Australia visited Pakistan for the first time in 23 years, Babar Azam was the top batter for the Pakistanis. The tracks in Pakistan are flat but the batter does require skill to make effective use of the ideal conditions. ?</p>



<h2>2) Marnus Labuschagne:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The first-ever concussion substitution in world cricket is a boon to the game. Marnus Labuschagne and his test debut are like a movie. Imagine being hit on the helmet on the first ball of your career, only to stand up and look back into the bowler's eye. Labuschagne is a player of class and strong character. He has his unique style of play. He likes howling while on the pitch but he is very focused. His cover drives are elite. He is a very reliable number 3 batter. ?</p>



<h2>1) Joe Root is one of the top Test Batters:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Joe-Root-min-1.jpg" alt="Joe Root Test Batters" class="wp-image-91373" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: England Cricket</figcaption></figure>



<p>If there is one batter which is the daddy of the Australian and Indian teams, it is Joe Root. My man has been on a roll since the 2020 Sri Lanka series. He dominated Sri Lankan spinners, then dominated here in India, when India went to England, he slammed 3 hundred in 4 games. He was batting on a different parallel. Joe Root also played a crucial role in winning the third test against New Zealand. ?</p>

<p><strong>5 Foreign Players Who May Become Expensive Buys During IPL 2024 Auction: </strong>The buzz around the IPL 2024 has begun to pick its pace as we head closer to the auctions. The recently passed deadline for the player's retention played a perfect role in being the ice-breaker for the cricket fans to have discussions. The cricket pundits are now involved in a game of predicting the players who can be potentially targeted by 10 Indian Premier League (IPL) teams.</p>



<p>Player retentions have become instrumental in determining what an IPL franchise is looking to do as far as their squad is concerned. All 10 IPL teams have retained their core set of players while releasing only a handful of them. While a couple of players have been involved in the trades.</p>



<p>The IPL 2024 Auction will not be about the retained players, rather it will be more about the new players who have left a solid impression over a period of time in the lead-up to the auction. Plenty of new players would sign up for the IPL 2024 Auction and the teams would be raring to seal those potential assets during the auction proceedings.</p>



<p>It is noteworthy that the recently held ODI World Cup 2023 would play a huge role in determining the worth of the players. Those who have managed to hop into the limelight with their brilliant performances will certainly fetch a lucrative IPL deal not from one but multiple teams.</p>



<p>This article will lead you through 5 foreign players who may become expensive buys during IPL 2024 Auction:</p>

<p>After nailing victory in this crucial encounter, SRH find themselves in a promising position for playoff contention, boasting seven wins from twelve outings. With just one more triumph, preferably with a notable margin, they stand poised to secure a coveted spot in the top 4 of the TATA IPL 2024 Playoffs. Conversely, Lucknow Super Giants face a daunting challenge ahead, needing victories in both of their remaining fixtures to keep their playoff hopes alive.</p>



<p>In a strategic gambit, KL Rahul won the pivotal toss and elected to set the stage ablaze with LSG batting first, hoping to tame the mighty SRH. Yet, the pitch proved a tricky one, ensnaring LSG's batters in some uncertainties. The powerplay saw the early demise of two key wickets, leaving LSG grasping at shadows with a paltry 57 runs after 10 overs, courtesy of KL Rahul's laborious 29 off 33 balls.</p>

<p>But every dark cloud carries a silver lining, and for LSG, it came in the form of Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran, whose explosive partnership breathed life into their innings, steering them to a competitive 165 runs, fueled by strike rates of over 180.</p>



<p>SRH, infamous for their dominance when setting targets, faced the task of chasing down LSG's challenge. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, however, had other plans. With lightning reflexes and unwavering resolve, they blitzed through LSG's plans, amassing a staggering 107 runs in the batting powerplay, leaving their opponents shell-shocked.</p>

<p>In a masterclass of precision and aggressiveness, SRH hunted down the target with surgical precision, not a single wicket falling along the way. Head and Sharma, the architects of SRH's triumph, shared the spoils evenly, leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of IPL 2024.</p>



<p>Below are the full updated lists of IPL 2024 Stats, Players With the Most Runs, and Most Wickets:</p>

<p><strong>KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1: </strong>The TATA IPL 2024 is heading to the business end and after the completion of the group stage, the first qualifier i.e., KKR vs SRH is scheduled to be played on 21 May (Tuesday). The buzz is on fire for the battle between the two best teams of the TATA IPL 2024 and here we are with the Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report, KKR vs SRH Records &amp; Stats and Ahmedabad Weather Forecast.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#kkr-vs-srh-match-details">KKR vs SRH Match Details</a></li><li class=""><a href="#narendra-modi-stadium-pitch-report">Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report</a></li><li class=""><a href="#narendra-modi-stadium-ipl-record">Narendra Modi Stadium IPL Record:</a></li><li class=""><a href="#kkr-vs-srh-head-to-head-stats">KKR vs SRH Head-to-head Stats</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ahmedabad-weather-forecast">Ahmedabad Weather Forecast</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad came up on the back of a dominating win against Punjab Kings in their last match. Punjab set them up for a 215-run target and SRH crossed the line even though their top player Travis Head was the first ball duck in the chase. </p>



<p>They have been the nightmare for the bowlers this season, especially in the batting powerplay where their season-average powerplay score is over 90 while batting first. Even last night, when they batted second, they put up 84 runs on the board without Travis Head. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Travis-Head-Abhishek-Sharma-SRH-1024x683.jpg" alt="SRH vs LSG Dream11 Prediction IPL 2024, SRH Playing11, Hyderabad vs Lucknow Match Preview, Head To Head, Rajiv Gandhi Stadium Pitch Report" class="wp-image-133190" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p>Head has been in the limelight but his opening partner Abhishek Sharma is equally deadly for bowlers. Sharma has played 13 matches in the tournament where he scored 467 runs with a strike rate of 202 and an average of around 40. This opening duo will be the biggest challenge for Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming contest.</p>



<p>Kolkata Knight Riders have also not shown any sympathy to the bowlers. They also possess an opening duo that has slayed the bowling attacks this year. They have an average powerplay score of 75 runs while batting first in the TATA IPL 2024.</p>



<p>While SRH have Head and Sharma, KKR are up there with Sunil Narine. However, his opening partner Phill Salt has returned to England for World Cup preparations, so KKR will have to look for another equally flammable opener.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-Sunil-Narine-Phil-Salt.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128773" /></figure>



<p>As they march into a pivotal showdown, the Knight Riders, crowned champions twice and now reigning at the summit of the points table for the first time in 17 long seasons, face a daunting challenge. Their blades, though sharp, have not tasted the heat of a full 40-over battle since May 5.</p>



<p>This lapse could spell trouble for Shreyas Iyer's warriors, the architects of a revolutionary strategy in the IPL, one that mirrors the very essence of their adversaries, the relentless Sunrisers Hyderabad, in the high-stakes Qualifier 1.</p>



<p>It is going to be fire vs fire. Still, one will end up losing the contest and this is the benefit of finishing the league stage at the top two spots, even after losing the qualifier 1, you get another chance against the winning team of the Eliminator round.</p>



<p>Below are the Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report, KKR vs SRH Records &amp; Stats and Ahmedabad Weather Forecast:</p>

KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1: Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report | IPL 2024 Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Records &amp; Stats, Ahmedabad Weather Forecast

kkr-vs-srh-qualifier-1-narendra-modi-stadium-pitch-report-ipl-2024-kolkata-knight-riders-vs-sunrisers-hyderabad-records-stats-ahmedabad-weather-forecast

<p><strong>KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1:</strong> It's time for the most interesting phase of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League - The Playoffs and the playoffs phase will be kicking off from today as the top two teams of the points table - Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on each other in Qualifier one at Ahmedabad?s Narendra Modi Stadium and both the teams will be looking to book their tickets for the final of IPL 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#harshit-rana-vs-heinrich-klassen">Harshit Rana vs Heinrich Klassen</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pat-cummins-vs-sunil-narine">Pat Cummins vs Sunil Narine</a></div><div class=""><a href="#varun-chakaravarthy-vs-travis-head">Varun Chakaravarthy vs Travis Head</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>The Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer have been the most consistent team of the league phase and their points tally in the overall standings clearly shows that. Finishing at the top of the table with 20 points, the Kolkata-based team had a three-point advantage over the second-ranked SRH with 17 points.</p>



<p>KKR?s Sunil Narine is having the best IPL season of his career and he has played the role of both batting and bowling to perfection while the middle-order batters and the lower-order batters have contributed immensely with the bat as they have capitalized on the start provided by the opening duo of Narine and Phil Salt and ended the innings on a positive note.</p>



<p>In terms of the bowling unit, the Knight Riders are one of the best teams. Three of their bowlers - Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana and Sunil Narine are part of the top 15 highest wicket-takers of IPL 2024 and this just goes to show how lethal their bowling unit has been this year.</p>



<p>The two concerns for the two-time IPL winners ahead of the playoffs will be the departure of opener and wicketkeeper-batsman Phil Salt and the poor form of speedster Mitchell Starc. While Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be filling the void of Phil Salt at the top of the order, Starc doesn't have any proper replacement and considering the high amount of money KKR spent on him, he will have to pull his socks up and give his best in the playoffs phase and help Kolkata lift their third IPL trophy.</p>



<p>If the Knight Riders have a solid bowling unit, then the Sunrisers Hyderabad have the best batting unit of IPL 2024. In their final league game against the Punjab Kings, the Pat Cummins-led team chased down the target of 215 runs pretty easily. Abhishek Sharma single-handedly turned the game in the favor of his team with an outstanding knock of 66 runs in just 28 deliveries and the KKR bowlers need to bowl intelligently against the batting unit of SRH if they want to have the upper hand. At Stadiums which have a completely flat wicket, Hyderabad?s opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have the potential of killing the game off in the powerplay itself and they have done it on more than one occasion this year.</p>



<p>The Hyderabad-based team?s bowling has not been at its usual best but they have bowled well in the last few matches. T Natarajan has been Hyderabad?s best bowler this year and he has received an ample amount of support from the duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Captain Pat Cummins.</p>



<p><strong>Ahead of the KKR vs SRH Qualifier one game, let's take a look at three key player battles:</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="harshit-rana-vs-heinrich-klassen"><strong>Harshit Rana vs Heinrich Klassen</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Harshit-Rana-vs-Heinrich-Klassen.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134366" /></figure>



<ol></ol>



<p>In their initial league stage encounter against KKR, the Sunrisers Hyderabad needed seven runs in five deliveries and Hyderabad was cruising to an easy victory thanks to the superb inning of Heinrich Klassen. However, Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Harshit Rana had some other ideas.</p>



<p>The young pacer dismissed Klaasen and gave away just two runs in his five deliveries which turned out to be the turning point and Harshit?s final over heroics allowed the Shreyas Iyer-led team to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against SRH.</p>



<p>Harshit and Klaasen will once again be up against each other in Qualifier One and Rana will be high on confidence after his heroics in their previous meeting the young seamer will be looking to stop the SRH wicketkeeper batter again while the 32-year-old South African will be seeking revenge.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="pat-cummins-vs-sunil-narine"><strong>Pat Cummins vs Sunil Narine</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Sunil-Narine.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134367" /></figure>



<ol start="2"></ol>



<p>The ability of Pat Cummins to bowl accurate bouncers might be Sunrisers Hyderabad?s best possible bet against Sunil Narine who is having an excellent IPL season with the bat as an opener.</p>



<p>Narine, who got run out for four runs in the previous meeting of the two sides earlier this season will be looking to toy with the SRH bowling unit.</p>



<p>If Bhuvneshwar Kumar is unable to dismiss Narine in the initial overs of the first qualifier, then Cummins will have to bring himself into the attack to keep the dangerous Narine quiet. A really interesting battle between the two players awaits as the top two battle it out against each other to secure their spot in the final.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="varun-chakaravarthy-vs-travis-head"><strong>Varun Chakaravarthy vs Travis Head</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Travis-Head.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134368" /></figure>



<ol start="3"></ol>



<p>Travis Head has been the best batter for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the current edition of IPL while Varun Chakaravarthy has been KKR?s most successful bowler this year.</p>



<p>Head is known to have a weakness against spinners and KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer won't waste a lot of time to bring on Chakaravarthy against Head.</p>



<p>How well Head picks the mystery spin of Varun Chakaravarthy will be a thing to watch and this battle will potentially decide which team gets a chance to book their ticket for the IPL 2024 final.</p>

<p><strong>IPL 2024 Most Sixes and Most Fours Rankings:</strong> IPL 2024 has been one of the best years for batters and a worst nightmare for bowlers. We have seen as many as <strong>1251 sixes </strong>and <strong>2156 fours</strong>, which are the highest in the history of IPL and we are still left with the final showdown between the two teams who have major credits to the list. Here we are with the lists of Most Sixes and Most Fours Rankings of IPL 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Jump To:</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-sixes">IPL 2024 Most Sixes</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-fours">IPL 2024 Most Fours</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>After 64 days of highly escalated battles among the 10 teams in a total of 73 games, we have our two finalists: Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though all the teams in IPL 2024 were beasts on their day, if you talk about the two most brutal batting lineups, you have to go with these two teams. KKR and SRH were the top two teams in the IPL Points table at the end of League stage and these two have made it to the finals.</p>



<p>IPL 2024 has been more for batters for most of the part but it has been a different story in the playoffs where bowlers have something for them in the game. However, the final is going to be an interesting one as the two teams with the best batting lineup are going to clash.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/iyers-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Stats, Players With Most Runs and Most Wickets Full Updated List, Orange Cap and Purple Cap After KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1" class="wp-image-134431" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer Took KKR to the Finals (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>As mentioned earlier, IPL 2024 has been more joyful for the batters and the top rankers among the players have hit most fours and most sixes. Sunrisers have an edge over others as Abhishek Sharma of SRH and Travis Head from SRH are at the top of both lists.</p>



<p>Abhishek Sharma has hit as many as 42 sixes in 15 matches so far. He has 482 runs under his belt with a strike rate of 207.75. He has collected 396 runs out of 482 through boundaries which reflects his strike rate. His teammate Heinrich Klaasen is ranked second on the list with 38 sixes in 15 matches. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Abhishek-Sharma.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Qualifier-2 SRH vs RR" class="wp-image-134503" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Trent Boult vs Abhishek Sharma</figcaption></figure>



<p>We have seen a different version of Virat Kohli in this IPL season where he has played with a strike rate of over 154 consistently. He has thumped down 38 sixes in a total of 15 matches and is the highest run-scorer of the TATA IPL 2024.</p>



<p>Nicholas Pooran also has his name in the list as expected and he has 36 sixes to his name in 14 games. Scoring 499 runs with a strike rate of 178 was exceptional but he was alone from his side to stand out.
