IPL 2024 has started, and so has the season of big hits. One of the main reasons why fans love the Indian Premier League so much is that the batters go all out and hit maximums at will in this tournament. To ensure that the batters who smash big hits receive big rewards, the organizers have roped in Tata Punch EV as a sponsor.
The player with the highest strike rate in a match (minimum 10 balls) receives a cheque of INR 1 lakh. Meanwhile, the player with the highest strike rate in the entire season takes the Tata Punch EV car home. Here’s a look at the five players who can win the car in IPL 2024.
1. Rashid Khan can win Tata Punch EV in IPL 2024
Gujarat Titans vice-captain Rashid Khan has proven himself as a game-changer with the bat in recent IPL seasons. If Khan gets enough opportunities to bat this season, he can take this prize home in 2024.
2. Liam Livingstone can win Tata Punch EV in IPL 2024
Another overseas cricketer to feature on the list is Punjab Kings’ all-rounder Liam Livingstone. The hard-hitter from England knows how to clear the boundary, and he already hit three sixes in his first inning of IPL 2024.
3. Andre Russell
Andre Russell has announced his arrival in the IPL with a whirlwind knock against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Russell Muscle is in peak form, and he has shown why he deserves to win the car.
4. Rinku Singh
Among Indian cricketers who can win this award, the top name is of Rinku Singh. The southpaw played some incredible knocks for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023. If he does the same in 2024, he can take the car home.
5. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Left-handed opener of Rajasthan Royals, Yashasvi Jaiswal has shown enormous potential in the last three seasons. Jaiswal was in terrific touch for Team India during the home season. He also hit a T20I ton in Asian Games, and he will be ready to dominate the IPL this year.
