Here are the Top 10 run-getters in IPL 2021: It features 2 batsmen each from CSK and PBKS, 3 from DC – 1 each from KKR, RCB, and RR.
10) Rishabh Pant (DC)
Delhi’s young captain Rishabh Pant stood out for them on various occasions and even carried the team to the playoffs. Sady, he couldn’t win the title but certainly would be happy with this season as a captain and a batter scoring 419 runs with a strike rate of 128.52 and an average of 34.91.
9) Mayank Agarwal (PBKS)
Mayank Agarwal had a memorable season scoring 441 runs with a strike rate of 140.44 and an average of 40.09. This season for him is special due to his 99* off 58, unfortunately in a losing cause. During the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, Mayank Agarwal stood for Punjab as their lone warrior while all of his other teammates failed to deliver. While he may not have won the match and his century, he won the hearts of thousands of supporters across the country
8) Shubman Gill (KKR)
Shubman Gill acted as a support for KKR and Venkatesh Iyer who blasted through innings while Gill made sure KKR was keeping up with a decent run rate by converting dot balls into 1s and 2s. He scored 478 runs with a strike rate of 123.00 and an average of 28.11.

Prithvi Shaw had a satisfactory season scoring 401 runs with a strike rate of 146.30 and an average of 31.93. He alongside Shikhar Dhawan is undoubtedly the powerhouse of Delhi Capitals. Although he is often caught in uncomfortable positions while defending, when he hits the ball it’s bound to go for the boundary. His 82 off 41 against KKR forced everyone to wonder just how many boundaries can a young talent of 21 score.
6) Sanju Samson (RR)
Sanju Samson scored 484 runs with a strike rate of 136.72 and an average of 40.33. Much like Mayank, on Rajasthan’s very first match this season, the captain scored an astounding century of 119 from 63 balls in a losing cause. He played a couple of other brilliant Knocks. Unarguably if he had just a little consistency, he would have been way higher on this list.

Glenn Maxwell had a terrible season with Punjab before coming into RCB and many suspected that he would go unsold this season. Despite a huge risk factor, RCB decided to buy Maxwell for around 14 crores. Expectedly, Virat and Co’s aggressive and competitive attitude managed to do wonders in his performance. He’s scored 498 runs with a strike rate of 144.10 and an average of 42.75 becoming the savior of RCB and pulling them out of every difficult situation.
4) Shikhar Dhawan (DC)
The Exclusion of Shikhar Dhawan from India’s T20 World Cup squad sparked questions about whether or not the Delhi Opener can bat efficiently anymore. He didn’t let feelings of alienation from the Indian side interrupt his performances and managed to score 587 runs with a strike rate of 124.62 and an average of 39.13

3) KL Rahul (PBKS)
KL Rahul has handled both the Captain’s duty by nurturing young talents like Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh and the batter’s duty scoring 626 runs with a strike rate of 138.80 and an average of 62.60 this season. He scored an abundance of runs this season including 3 innings in the 90s. One of which was in Punjab’s last match. He didn’t manage to take Punjab to the playoffs but bid the IPL 2021 a sweet farewell by scoring 98* from 42, this time actually in a winning cause.
2) Faf du Plessis (CSK)
Faf ended up becoming the Player of the match in the final due to his 86 (56) which led to the gigantic target CSK set for KKR. He fell 3 runs short of the Orange cap. Leaving him out of the T20I World Cup side has resulted in a big loss for South Africa since Faf’s completely fit and has scored 633 runs with a strike rate of 138.20 and an average of 45.21 this season. He stated that he had retired from test cricket to focus on limited over cricket and has proven his worth in the format in every possible way. He’s given tremendous efforts for CSK this season, providing knocks of 95* from 60 against KKR, 76* from 55 against Punjab, and so on.

1) Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK)
Ruturaj Gaikwad became the youngest player in the history of the IPL to achieve the Orange cap and fulfilled all the remaining spark CSK needed in their batting lineup by scoring 635 runs with a strike rate of 136.26 and an average of 45.35. He’s astonishingly consistent which is one of the key requirements of an efficient batsman, and of one that’s likely to make it back into the Indian side. Although he’s played a number of fine knocks this season, the most memorable one is his century, which follows the fashion of other centurions this season. His fearless 101* from 60 against RR in a losing cause. He was also awarded the emerging player of the season.
