Ben Stokes IPL profile 2023: England’s talisman has powered 935 runs in 43 innings at a strike-rate of 133, peppering 81 fours and 32 sixes while posting two centuries and two fifties. His career-best 107 came at a blistering tempo, underlining the match-winning impact that Chennai Super Kings paid for. Across six seasons—Rajasthan Royals (2018-21), Rising Pune Supergiant (2017) and now CSK—the left-hander has faced 698 balls and cleared ropes or found gaps almost every six deliveries. With the ball Stokes complements the carnage, nipping 28 wickets in 38 innings at an economy of 8.64 and a strike-rate of 24.61, including three three-wicket bursts. From clutch knocks to death-over strikes, Stokes remains the premier all-round force in IPL fantasy and betting circles.

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.
