Know which Indian legend is the best finisher of IPL 2024, Dhoni is no match for him

Even though Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has performed very poorly so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. But the bat of their wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik is not showing signs of stopping. Karthik is scoring a lot of runs in the lower order, he does not have much time to play, but whatever time he gets, he is playing the role of finisher for RCB by playing quick innings.

If we look at the list of best finishers of IPL 2024, the first name that comes up is Dinesh Karthik. Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, known as the best finisher, is nowhere in this list. If we look at the batsmen who scored the most runs between 16 and 20 overs in IPL 2024, Karthik's name is at the top.

Karthik's outstanding average of 71.50 and strike rate of 190.67 have allowed him to score 143 runs in five innings of the six matches he has played so far. Karthik has amassed 130 runs between 16 and 20 overs during this time. Heinrich Klaasen, the dynamic wicket-keeper batsman for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), is the second name on this list. Between 16 and 20 overs, Klaasen has amassed 108 runs. Rahul Tewatia of the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Tim David of the Mumbai Indians (MI) are tied for third place. Between sixteen and twenty overs, both have scored 99-99 runs.

Whenever the year of the T20 World Cup comes, Karthik starts batting aggressively. If he continues this form then he can be selected as wicketkeeper for T20 World Cup 2024. Karthik's best score this season has been 53 not out. Karthik has scored 38, 28, 20, 4 and 53* runs in 5 innings of 6 matches played so far this season.
