Markram piling on the runs in IPL
Cape Argus
|April 24, 2025
AFTER a slow start to the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), Aiden Markram has been piling on the runs for Lucknow Super Giants.
After making scores of 15, 1, and 28 in his first three games, Markram has since scored 53, 47, 58, 6, 66, and 52.
The 30-year-old’s tally of 323 runs over his nine innings has seen him rise to seventh on the run-scoring charts.
His average of 36 has also come at a strike-rate of 150 while he’s notched up four fifties.
Markram’s exploits are some way the best by a Proteas batter, with Heinrich Klaasen the next best SA player way down in 24th on the run-scoring charts. Klaasen’s highest score of 37 has come at an average of 35 and a strike-rate of 159.
Aiden Markram leading the way for Proteas batsmen in IPL
Ryan Rickelton is 26th with 204 runs, while Tristan Stubbs is 32nd with his 183-run tally.
For Markram though, it’s looking like it will be his best-ever season in the IPL. In 2022, Markram scored 381 runs, which was his best season to date.
That season though, he scored three fifties over 14 games - a mark he has already surpassed this year in nine outings.
