Top 3 best performers for KKR in group stage of IPL 2024

The two-time IPL winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, have inched closer to lifting their third IPL title after becoming the first team to secure a playoff berth in the ongoing IPL 2024.

The 2012 and 2014 IPL winners, KKR, have sealed the top spot on the IPL 2024 points table with 20 points owing to nine wins and two with no result. Some of the players have played a great role in leading the side to the top spot. In the same vein, here are the top three best performers for KKR in the group stage of the IPL 2024.

1. Phil Salt

England star batter Phil Salt has shown his great form in the IPL 2024 as he went on to amass 435 runs from the 13 matches that he had played so far in the tournament. Notably, the stylish right-handed batter hammered a plethora of runs for KKR in the power plays and played a huge role as his side ended up in the top spot.

However, Salt has flown back to his country for preparation for the T20 World Cup 2024, and he is set to miss the playoffs.

2. Sunil Narine

KKR star batter Sunil Narine stands on the cusp of something extraordinary, as he has 461 runs and 14 wickets to his name in just 11 matches so far in the tournament. Notably, the opening batter just needed 39 runs and one more wicket, which will make him the first player in IPL history to achieve the double of 500 runs and 15 wickets in a season.

The top-order batter played a great role in guiding the KKR side to the playoffs, and he will be the main batter ahead of the playoffs.

3. Venkatesh Iyer

Iyer also seems to be in great form throughout the whole edition and will be the main batter in the playoffs. The great batter has made 267 runs from the 12 matches he has played so far and played a crucial role in guiding KKR to the top spot in the league standings.

However, Iyer has still been ignored by the selectors as he failed to get a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
