Top 5 Batsman who can score 200 in a single innings in IPL
In the modern day cricket,especially in the shortest format of the game,batsman try to score as quickly as they can.Scoring 200 in ODIs is no big deal now.However the record of making 200 in a t20 match is yet to be made.Players like Chris Gayle have come as close as 175 but still couldn't cross the mark,Glenn Maxwell and Brendon McCulllum have scored 150+ each in the shortest format of the game.Even in ODIs none believed that 200 could be made by a single player until the great Sachin Tendulkar showed the way.Its a matter of time that someone scores a double century in t20s too.Here's a list of top 5 players who have the ability to score 200 in the upcoming IPL:
1.Rohit Sharma:
Well as expected,a guy with 3 double centuries and fastest international t20 century is on the top
of the list.If Rohit opens for Mumbai Indians,there is a huge possibility of him scoring daddy hundreds,escpecially on the batting friendly tracks of their home ground Wankhede.He usually has a lazy start,but once he gets set,we all know how brutal he can be.Besides,he has the experience of playing big knocks.
2.AB de Villiers:
Well I don't need to explain why this guy is there on this list.Popularly known as Mr.360,this guy has scored the fastest hundred in just 31 balls in ODIs.But the only problem lies in the fact that he bats in the middle order for RCB,as a result of which he might not get sufficient amount of deliveries to face.But still you never know,with a guy like AB,even the impossible looks possible.
3.Chris Gayle :
A player who has scored 175 in a t20 match definitely has the ability to score 200,and specially if he is Christopher Henry Gayle.He might not be in good form recently,but on his day he can thrash any bowler out of the park.RCB might have let him go this year,but Gayle would be more than excited in his new venture with Kings 11 Punjab.
4.Brendon McCullum:
The man who scored 158 in the inaugural match of the IPL,has every chance of scoring a double century this year.Brendon McCullum,who has just played in PSL recently will be looking to make it big in IPL this year with his new team.He will probably open the innings for RCB and has every chance of scoring it big with his stylish shots.
5.Ishan Kishan :
You all will be very surprised to see this young man's name in the list.Most of you might not even recognize him.Well he was the captain of the Indian U19 team in 2016 WC and was an active player of Gujarat Lions for the past 2 years.Mumbai Indians bought him this year for a whopping amount of 6.2 crore,credits to his wicketkeeping ability.Few days ago,he scored a blistering knock of 124 off just 49 balls in a charity match against bowlers like Bumrah,Mavi,Bhajji and Shardul in the very Wankhede Stadium.If he opens this year for Mumbai Indians,chances are that he will make it big.He has remained underrated in the shadows of Rishabh Pant,but believe me that this young dynamic left-handed batsman is a treat to watch out to.
Honourable Mentions;
