Each year since 2008, the month of April and May is booked for the best T20 competition in the world, the Indian Premier League (IPL).
While some play out of their skins to show their worth to the selectors, the other established ones play to show their class in the high-octane league.
Each edition betters the previous ones with the thrilling action between the franchises. Today, let’s have a look at the leading run-scorers in IPL since 2017:
