Most Runs in IPL 2019, Most Wickets and Season Records

Champions by a single run: how IPL 2019 ended

Mumbai Indians took the title by the smallest margin possible, defending their total to win by 1 run against Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. It capped a season in which they won 10 of their 16 matches, with one tie, and it added another line to the IPL winners list.

Chennai Super Kings also won 10 games, but they played 17 and lost 7 along the way. At the bottom of the win column, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru managed 5 wins each, and both had a washed-out no result.

Warner's Orange Cap and the six IPL 2019 centuries

Warner’s lead was wide. His 692 came in fewer innings than anyone else in the top five, with eight fifties and one hundred. KL Rahul of Punjab Kings made 593, Q de Kock of Mumbai Indians 529 and S Dhawan of Delhi Capitals 521.

AD Russell (Andre Russell) of Kolkata Knight Riders was the outlier. He struck his 510 runs at 204.82. MS Dhoni averaged 83.20 for his 416 runs and was the only Chennai Super Kings batter in the season’s top 15.

There were 6 hundreds. JM Bairstow (Jonny Bairstow) made the biggest, 114 from 56 deliveries versus RCB on 31 Mar 2019, and Warner made 100* in the same innings as SRH reached 231/2. AM Rahane, SV Samson, V Kohli and KL Rahul made the others. Compare other seasons on the Orange Cap list.

Purple Cap, best bowling and the season's sixes

The Purple Cap went to Imran Tahir of Chennai Super Kings, whose 26 wickets cost 16.58 each. K Rabada of Delhi Capitals pushed him close with 25, despite playing just 12 games, and his wickets were cheaper still at 14.72. DL Chahar was third with 22.

The best single spell belonged to AS Joseph of Mumbai Indians, 6/12 in 3.4 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 6 Apr 2019. No other bowler took more than four in an innings that season. The full list of season leaders sits on the Purple Cap list.

For sixes, nobody came near Russell. He hit 52, while CH Gayle was next on 34.
