The Indian Premier League (IPL) will finally be back in action, and the teams will be looking forward to getting their season underway. There will be some interesting changes in the teams as well, with some key players being unavailable for the series on resumption.

T20 cricket is known to be a batter's format, and this time it is time to discuss who has the best batting order going into the back-end of the tournament. Certain key batters won’t be available for the team for the remainder of the tournament, which could also affect the batting strength of a team in these last few crucial games.

The batting squads will be judged based on the form of key players, depth, and consistency the teams have shown in the tournament so far, and how the sudden changes after the suspension of the tournament have affected it. It is time to take a look at which team might be the strongest and which team look slightly weak going into the business end of the league stage.

It has not been a great season for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) batters, who have been very inconsistent in the tournament. Though there have been glimpses of great batting from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag, the rest of the lineup has had an underwhelming season so far.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) squad does have some talented batters, but none of them have lived up to their expectations. Though there have been some great innings at the top and glimpses of brilliance from the middle order, the batter's performances have lacked consistency.
