Corey Anderson IPL profile: 538 runs at 127 strike-rate, 31 sixes, 3 fifties, 95* best New Zealand power-hitter Corey Anderson lit up four IPL seasons between 2014 and 2018, leaving a trail of 31 towering sixes and 40 fours while wearing the colours of Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and finally Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Walking in at 29 innings, Anderson hammered 538 runs off just 423 balls and maintained a fearsome strike-rate of 127—numbers that underline why he was always viewed as a batting all-rounder first. Three bruising half-centuries, topped by an unbeaten 95 against Rajasthan in 2015, carried the left-hander’s reputation as a genuine six-hitting match-winner. With the ball he rolled his arm over sparingly, sending down 297 balls for 11 wickets at an economy of 10.46, never going past two wickets in an innings but still providing the captain with a handy sixth-bowling option.

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.
