List of Best Finisher in the IPL 2024
5. Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)
When you talk about Andre Russell, one thing comes to mind, which is brute force, and he showed it quite well this season. His performances were one of the reasons that KKR won the title. Russell was Man of the Match in the very first game against SRH when he hit a blistering 64 not out. Overall, he played some brilliant cameos in the end. Russell scored 222 runs at an average of 31.71 and a strike rate of 185 with 20 sixes. He is certainly one of the best finishers in the IPL.
4. Nicholas Pooran (Lucknow Super Giants)
Nicholas Pooran was at his best for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024. The West Indian superstar played a number of match-winning innings for his team and was very consistent. He scored a total of 499 runs at a healthy average of 62.37 and a strike rate of 178.21, and he hit 35 sixes. Pooran’s ability to hit sixes makes him the best finisher in the IPL for LSG.
3. MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings)
Not just in the IPL 2024, but overall, MS Dhoni is probably the best finisher in IPL history. He has the most not outs in IPL history. But with his growing age, MS Dhoni seems to have chosen a role for himself where he comes to bat in the final overs and starts hitting the ball. That has been pretty impressive. He scored 161 runs at an average of 53.66 and a blistering strike rate of 220.54.
2. Heinrich Klaasen (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Heinrich Klaasen is one of the best white-ball players around. He looks effortless whenever he hits sixes. Klaasen had a brilliant season for Sunrisers Hyderabad and did well with the bat. The South African star scored 479 runs at an average close to 40 and a strike rate of 171.07 with 38 sixes. Not just in the IPL, he is one of the best finishers going around.
1. Marcus Stoinis (Lucknow Super Giants)
If it is about impact, we believe Marcus Stoinis was one of the best. The Australian all-rounder had a brilliant IPL 2024 for LSG. No one can forget his hundred at Chepauk Stadium when he snatched the victory from the jaws of defeat. He scored 388 runs at an average of 32.33 and a strike rate of 147.52. He played a few more good innings, which totally changed the complexion of the game.
