IPL 2021

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is certainly not easy to bat on. Most of the batsmen who batted at the Chepauk were left perplexed by the unpredictability of the pitch. Only a few batsmen have been able to crack the code at the Chepauk in IPL 2021. That said, here are 5 players with the most runs at the Chepauk in IPL 2021:

5. Suryakumar Yadav (154 runs in 5 matches)

Suryakumar Yadav is arguably one of MI’s most important batsmen in IPL 2021. The 30-year-old proved his ability with the bat after scoring 154 runs in 5 matches at the Chepauk. Yadav averaged a strike rate of over 143, delivering for MI whenever they needed runs on the board. Even though Yadav failed to register a big score at the Chepauk, his cameos with the bat helped MI through tough times in IPL 2021.

4. Nitish Rana (155 runs in 3 matches)

At no 4 in this list is KKR opener Nitish Rana. Rana started his IPL 2021 campaign with a terrific knock of 80. The left-handed batsman has been a vital player for KKR, amassing 155 runs in 3 games at the Chepauk. Rana got an opportunity to open the innings of KKR this year, which he took with open arms. Rana’s blistering form is something that KKR will rely on in IPL 2021.

3. Glenn Maxwell (176 runs in 3 matches)

Glenn Maxwell has seen a change in fortune in the IPL this year. The Australian all-rounder has been in blistering form, scoring 176 runs in 3 matches at the Chepauk. In his first 3 matches for RCB, Maxwell already notched 2 half-centuries. Maxwell will look to continue delivering in a similar fashion in the IPL this season.

2. Rohit Sharma (201 runs in 5 matches)

MI skipper Rohit Sharma has also been MI’s best batsman in the season so far. Sharma looked in fine form at the Chepauk, averaging an impressive 40 in 5 games. If MI wants to qualify for the IPL playoffs in 2021, they need Sharma to keep delivering with the bat consistently.

1. Jonny Bairstow (211 runs in 5 matches)

Jonny Bairstow was the best performer with the bat at the Chepauk in the IPL 2021. In just 5 matches, Bairstow amassed a total of 211 runs, with a strike rate exceeding 141. In a pitch where batsmen struggle, Bairstow smacked an astonishing 14 sixes at the Chepauk this season.
