Abhishek Porel

The arrival

Abhishek Porel's first IPL season was 2023, with Delhi Capitals, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 4 matches and 33 runs. The best was still to come.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2024, for Delhi Capitals: 327 runs at an average of 32.7, striking at 159.5 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 150.6, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 65.

One franchise

Abhishek Porel has spent the whole IPL career with Delhi Capitals, from 2023 to 2026.

How the runs came

Across the career, Abhishek Porel has struck at 145.4. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 151.9, so Abhishek Porel has scored about 7 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 63% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 80 fours and 28 sixes.

The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 33.5% of the balls Abhishek Porel faced were dot balls, a lower share than 75% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 18.9 balls, and a four every 6.6.
