User Question
Who was better in the powerplay in IPL 2026 — Suryavanshi or Kohli?
Correct Answer Pattern
In IPL 2026 powerplay (overs 1–6), both batters had ≥200-ball samples:
- Suryavanshi: 233.6 SR, 223 balls, #1 of 45 qualifying batters
- Kohli: 174.8 SR, 206 balls, #13 of 45 qualifying batters
Suryavanshi's powerplay SR was 34% higher than Kohli's. Both are strong, but Suryavanshi was the clear #1 powerplay batter of the season.
