One of the most common things in cricket is that a particular batter has a special liking for an opposition, as they always tend to score runs against them, be it in any given format.
Likewise, some of the batters, owing to their familiarity with the conditions, tend to score runs at all times at a particular venue, and this is true in the case of the IPL as well.
With the IPL being played on a home-away basis, a batter gets to play more in their home venue, and it directly affects their run aggregate as they bat more.
So, in this article, we will look at the top 10 batters who have scored the most IPL runs at a single venue.
