Abishek Porel has quietly become Delhi Capitals’ most reliable top-order finisher after three IPL seasons, amassing 661 runs off just 441 balls at a blazing strike-rate of 149. The left-handed dasher has smashed 65 fours and 27 sixes—meaning every 6.8 balls he either clears the rope or finds the fence. In 29 innings he has crossed fifty three times, with a personal-best of 65, and has remained not out on several occasions to steer the Capitals home. Having turned out exclusively for Delhi since 2023, Porel’s rapid scoring and fearless intent make him a must-watch powerplay weapon and a future fantasy-league goldmine.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
