IPL 2026: Which team has the strongest batting lineup?
Over the years, the average batting score keeps on increasing along with the number of fours and sixes hit in the tournament, making the bowlers’ job even more difficult.
1. Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have the most feared batting lineups at the 2026 IPL. On their given day, the 2016 champions are well capable of posting even 300 with a hard-hitting lineup at their disposal.
A dangerous squad including Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy has been boosted by the addition of Liam Livingstone.
Kishan’s form is a big boost for SRH coming into the tournament. He captained Jharkhand to their maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) title whilst ending the tournament as the leading runs scorer. He then ended the 2026 T20 World Cup with 317 at a strike-rate of 193.29.
