2019 Indian Premier League(IPL)Season 12 March 23 to May 12,2019 - All you Need To Know With the completion of the league stage Sunday May 05,2019




Who won the various phases? - Batting

Powerplay
Sunrisers were the clear leaders this season. Led by David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, they lost a wicket only nine times in the Powerplay and averaged 87. In comparison, the worst team in the Powerplay with the bat was Super Kings, losing 26 wickets, averaging 20.38 and scoring at 6.21 runs per over. Mumbai, Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab ensured they did not lose too many wickets at the top with a high average but were not able to score as quickly as they would have liked to.
Middle overs
Kings XI and Knight Riders top the charts in the middle overs. KL Rahul's role to bat through the innings and Andre Russell's exploits were influential in their teams doing well in this phase. While one of the key skills in this phase is to minimize the dot balls, Knight Riders have been found guilty of playing too many - 43% of their deliveries were dots, forcing Russell to make up towards the end. Mumbai find themselves at the bottom of the list in terms of averages in this phase, having slowed down on multiple occasions after a good start by losing a bunch of wickets. The case for Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard to play more balls in this phase is further enhanced through these numbers.
Death overs
The death overs have been dominated by the two most impactful players of the tournament - Hardik and Russell. Knight Riders and Mumbai lead this phase scoring at 11.19 and 10.40 runs per over, and averaging 27.37 and 22.65 respectively. Sunrisers, Royals and Capitals have been below par in this phase considering they are top-heavy sides with a lack of a proven finisher. Super Kings' record is comfortably way above the rest while batting first - thanks to Dhoni - as they lost only six wickets at the death, averaging 46.83 and scoring at 11.24 an over.





Orange Cap

After missing out on the previous edition of the IPL due to the ball-tampering scandal, David Warner rose up to the expectation when he marked his return to the 12th edition of the league.

The Australian opener is the highest run scorer in the league with 692 runs from the 12 matches he had played for the Sunrisers. He had smashed 8 fifties and one hundred to attain the feat.

David Warner couldn't add more to his runs as he had to leave the IPL and depart home for World Cup duty calls.

He sits atop of the runs table with a 99-run lead over KL Rahul who is second on the table with a total of 593.
  1. David Warner (SRH): 692
  2. KL Rahul (KXIP): 593
  3. Andre Russell (KKR): 510






Who won the various phases - Bowling

Powerplay
One of the most important skills in a T20 match is to pick up wickets in the Powerplay and derail the opposition from achieving the par score. Super Kings have the best bowling average with 29.65 while going at 7.83 runs per over. Kings XI and Royal Challengers have been the worst, averaging 65.58 and 50.71, and taking only 12 and 14 wickets respectively in the Powerplay.
Middle overs
In the middle overs, where the spinners have come into play at most venues, this season the four playoff teams - Mumbai, Super Kings, Capitals, Sunrisers - have the best record. The reason could be attributed to the depth in the spin department they possess. Super Kings bowlers average 23.27 and have an economy rate of 6.52 in this phase, whereas Knight Riders have been at the other end of the spectrum with an average of 55.85 and an economy rate of 8.67.
Death overs
Another important phase in a game where the four playoff teams are once again the best. Super Kings conceded 8.10 runs per over while averaging 15.87 in this phase. At the bottom of the chart are once again Knight Riders who conceded 10.70 runs per over. Royals and Royal Challengers were close at 10.53 and 10.49. As per ESPNcricinfo logs, the team that bowled the most yorkers in the death was Capitals with 36; Royal Challengers bowled only seven, the least.



Purple Cap

The bowler with most number of wickets in IPL 2019 is Kagiso Rabada of the Delhi Capitals.
Rabada had scalped 25 wickets in 12 matches before leaving the tournament with a back niggle as South Africa couldn't risk their fast bowler ahead of the World Cup 2019.

  1. Kagiso Rabada (DC): 25
  2. Imran Tahir (CSK): 21
  3. Shreyas Gopal (RR): 20
