A handful of Australia\u2019s players have dominated the IPL while others have had lean tournaments.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Travis Head has been Australia\u2019s stand-out performer at the IPL this season even with his first-ball duck in Sunrisers Hyderabad\u2019s final regular season game against Punjab Kings. Head was the third-highest runscorer in the regular season with 533 runs from 12 innings including a century and four fifties at a staggering strike-rate of 201.13. His opening partner, Abhishek Sharma, was the only other player to pass 350 runs while striking at over 200. According to ESPNcricinfo\u2019s Smart Stats, Head had the second-highest total batting impact across the tournament behind Virat Kohli.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jake Fraser-McGurk trumped Head in terms of strike-rate and batting impact per game as he produced one of the most extraordinary debut IPL seasons by any player. His 330 runs from nine innings with four half-centuries at an eye-watering strike-rate of 234.04 was even more remarkable considering he was a replacement player who might not have played for Delhi Capitals at all without the season-ending hamstring injury to Mitchell Marsh. Fraser-McGurk became the first player in IPL history to register two 15-ball fifties and scored another off 19 balls. Capitals will no doubt retain him ahead of the mega-auction where he could otherwise fetch an extraordinary price.<\/span>
\nIn a tournament dominated by batters, Pat Cummins has had an outstanding season with the ball and as captain despite the numbers not leaping off the page. He is equal 13th on the wicket-takers list with 15 but only two fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Tushar Deshpande, had better economy rates and the latter played six matches in Chennai where the overall scoring was lower and slower. Cummins did an excellent job as captain given he had never led in T20s before the IPL and he also made some contributions with the bat when needed.<\/span>
