Ranking the best finishers of the IPL 2024 teams
S Tier (Best)
1. Mumbai Indians
- Tim David ($)
- Vishnu Vinod
- Hardik Pandya
- Mohammed Nabi ($)
- Arjun Tendulkar
- Romario Shepherd ($)
- Nehal Wadhera
With the addition of Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians have strengthened their finishing ability. Last season, the team got new talents in the form of Vishnu Vinod and Nehal Wadhera.
Also, the form of Tim David in international cricket is phenomenal. As a result, they have one of the best finishers in the 2024 IPL season.
2. Kolkata Knight Riders
- Rinku Singh
- Andre Russell ($)
- Anukul Roy
- Sunil Narine ($)
- Ramandeep Singh
When Rinku Singh and Andre Russell are on the same team, the opposition needs to fear. Since the last IPL season, Rinku Singh has been incredible. Being a finisher, he was the top scorer on the team.
Similarly, representing the Indian cricket team, he smashed boundaries around the park. Also, when it comes to Andre Russell, he needs no introduction.
3. Gujarat Titans
- David Miller ($)
- Shahrukh Khan
- Asmatullah Omarzai ($)
- Rahul Tewatia
- Rashid Khan ($)
Last season, Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia, and David Miller fulfilled the finishing role. Now, with the addition of Shahrukh Khan, the Gujarat Titans have strengthened their finishing ability. Undoubtedly, they can turn things around very quickly.
4. Lucknow Super Giants
- Nicholas Pooran ($)
- Krunal Pandya
- Marcus Stonis ($)
- Deepak Hooda
- Krishnappa Gowtham
In the last few seasons, we have seen Lucknow Super Giants win games after a top-order collapse. They have one of the best middle-order line-ups. Pandya, Pooran, Stonis, and Hooda can change the game single-handedly.
5. Chennai Super Kings
- Ravindra Jadeja
- MS Dhoni
- Shivam Dube
- Daryl Mitchell
- Sameer Rizvi
- Shardul Thakur
The last team in the S-tier is the Chennai Super Kings. The Super Kings have perfect finishers with left and right-hand combinations.
In the previous season, they won several games because of their strong finishing. Now, with the addition of Sameer Rizvi, Daryl Mitchell, and Shardul Thakur, they have strengthened their team.

A Tier (Good)
1. Sunrisers Hyderabad
- Travis Head ($)
- Abdul Samad
- Glenn Phillips ($)
- Heinrich Klassen ($)
- Marco Jensen ($)
- Washington Sundar
- Pat Cummins ($)
The reason Sunrisers Hyderabad stands here is because of an unstable finishing line-up. Apart from their overseas selection, no player can turn the game single-handedly.
2. Rajasthan Royals
- Riyan Parag
- Rovman Powell ($)
- Shimron Hetmyer ($)
- Dhruv Jurel
- Donovan Ferreira ($)
- Ravi Ashwin
Though the Rajasthan Royals have big finishers on their team, they lack consistency. Last season, the Royals failed to qualify for the playoffs, and weak finishing was their issue. As a result, they aren’t that bad, but they also aren’t that perfect.

B Tier (Good)
1. Royal Challengers Bangalore
- Dinesh Karthik
- Cameron Green ($)
- Suyash Prabhudessai
- Will Jacks ($)
- Mahipal Lomror
Yes, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have one of the weakest finishing line-ups. Last season, Dinesh Karthik failed miserably and relied on their top order.
2. Delhi Capitals
- Abhishek Porel
- Rishabh Pant
- Tristan Stubbs ($)
- Axar Patel
- Lalit Yadav
Just like Bangalore, Delhi also had one of the weakest finishing line-ups. Maybe this season, Rishabh Pant can help them. But still, his performance is a question.
3. Punjab Kings
- Jitesh Sharma
- Rishi Dhawan
- Sam Curran ($)
- Sikandar Raza ($)
- Liam Livingstone ($)
This name might be shocking to you. But yes, the Punjab Kings have an average finishing line-up. Last season, they relied on Jitesh Sharma. Moreover, other overseas players couldn’t keep up their performances.
