Bangalore won the game by 8 wickets and is still alive in the race for the playoffs. However, if Delhi beats Mumbai in tonight’s contest, RCB will be eliminated from the tournament.

3) Quinton De Kock – 502 Runs From 14 Matches

De Kock was on 362 runs from 13 matches prior to LSG’s game against KKR. He scored an unbeaten 140 in that game and took himself to the second spot in the list of most run-getters in IPL 2022 so far. His emotions after he got to that century spoke a lot about how much he wanted to get those runs for his side.

2) KL Rahul – 537 Runs From 14 Matches

Rahul has been the epitome of consistency in the IPL. This is the fifth straight time he has scored over 500 runs in the season consistently. Rahul began the season on a great note scoring two early centuries.

He then had a lean patch in between where he bagged a few ducks and in the last match against KKR which was almost a must-win for them scored a crafty 68 off 51 balls and along with de Kock decimated the KKR bowlers. He also has three fifties to his name in the season so far.

1) Jos Buttler – 629 Runs in 14 Matches

Buttler’s season with the bat has been a season of two halves. In the first seven games, he scored 419 runs which included three centuries. His form changed drastically in the second half with him scoring only 138 runs in the last seven games.

In RR’s last game against CSK, he scored just two off five balls. The Royals made the playoffs for the first time since 2018 and Buttler has to regain his old form to help the Royals win the final.
