The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League has ended with the Kolkata Knight Riders lifting the trophy. They were by far the best team in the tournament and played like a champion team in the final. Throughout the season, we saw the batters of the KKR franchise as well as the other franchises playing some really good shots and an explosive brand of cricket. A lot of batting records were broken as the batters batted at an exceptional strike rate. The top 5 players with the best strike rate throughout the season (minimum 100 runs scored) are:
| S. No. | Player | Franchise | Runs | Strike Rate |
| 1 | Jake Fraser-McGurk | Delhi Capitals | 330 | 234.04 |
| 2 | M.S. Dhoni | Chennai Super Kings | 161 | 220.54 |
| 3 | Abhishek Sharma | Sunrisers Hyderabad | 484 | 204.21 |
| 4 | Ramandeep Singh | Kolkata Knight Riders | 125 | 201.61 |
| 5 | Travis Head | Sunrisers Hyderabad | 567 | 191.55 |
