A Raghuvanshi IPL profile: Kolkata Knight Riders’ rising batting star has lit up the league across two seasons, 2024 and 2025, stacking 463 runs from just 18 innings at an electric strike-rate of 144. The 320 balls he has faced tell the story of intent—46 boundaries and 16 sixes already pepper the stands, underlining a fearless approach that keeps the scoreboard racing. Twice he has cruised past fifty, with a career-best 54 showing the ceiling of his pyrotechnics. Though yet to raise a maiden hundred, the frequency with which he finds the fence—nearly one four every seven balls—makes him a nightmare for opposition captains. Having worn the KKR jersey from day one, Raghuvanshi is fast becoming the go-to accelerator in the franchise’s middle order, and at this trajectory, triple-digit landmarks may arrive sooner than later.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
