One thing that has stood out in this edition of the IPL, like many more before this, is a trend of a few batsmen doing the bulk of the scoring for their teams. A handful of batters have been carrying the teams, as many big names and young talents continue to struggle with the bat. For many teams, as many as 40%-60% of the runs have been scored between a couple of batters.
The likes of Jos Buttler, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Tilak Varma, Abhishek Sharma and others have had the lion's share in their teams' runs, so far this season.
