Questions raised on the strike rate of Hardik and Rahul!

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul are also in the race for selection for the T20 World Cup. However, the performance of these two players in the current IPL season cannot be said to be that satisfactory. Hardik-Rahul have batted relatively slowly in IPL 2024, so both of them may be dropped from the World Cup team.

Hardik Pandya has so far been able to score only 141 runs in 7 innings at a strike-rate of 146.87 in the current IPL season. Hardik Pandya has not only been a flop in batting, his performance with the ball has also been poor. Hardik has taken 4 wickets at a poor economy rate of 11 in the current IPL. Whereas KL Rahul has scored 286 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 143.

Whereas, Abhishek Porel has scored at a strike rate of 162.63. 38-year-old Dinesh Karthik has also shown his promise by batting stormily. Karthik’s strike rate has been around 196.
