Cameron Green has turned the IPL into his personal highlight reel in only two campaigns, stacking 707 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 153. The 24-year-old all-rounder has already cleared the ropes 32 times and found the fence 62 times, translating into a boundary every six balls he faces. His maiden century—a scorching 100*—and two half-centuries in 28 innings underline why Royal Challengers Bengaluru swooped to secure him for 2024 after his breakout 2023 with Mumbai Indians. Green’s batting story is powered by fearless intent: 460 balls faced, 707 runs scored, and a strike rate that dwarfs most specialists. When he is at the crease, the asking rate rarely climbs because boundaries flow at will—32 sixes launch him into the elite air of power-hitters, while 62 fours keep mid-off and extra-cover honest. The numbers become even more dramatic when you realise he has batted only 28 times; that is more than 25 runs per innings of sheer six-hitting mayhem. With ball in hand, Green has chipped in with 16 wickets across 29 bowling innings. While the economy sits at 9.08, his strike rate of 27.44 balls per wicket shows he breaks partnerships when it matters. Two wickets is his best in an innings so far, but the threat is real: 439 deliveries, 664 runs conceded, yet those 16 breakthroughs often arrived just when scoreboards threatened to explode. From Mumbai Indians to RCB, Green’s two-season IPL journey is a case study in instant impact—an all-round package who can flip a match with either willow or leather.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
