Mahela Jayawardene IPL career summary Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene lit up six IPL seasons (2008-2013) with an elegant 1,802 runs from 78 innings at a strike-rate of 123. Opening or anchoring the middle order for Punjab Kings, Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Delhi Capitals, Jayawardene showcased timing over brute force—drilling 200 fours and clearing the ropes 39 times. His lone IPL century, a crisp 110, stands as his highest score, while ten half-centuries underline consistency across 1,462 balls faced. Although he never bowled a single delivery in the tournament, his value lay in crafting match-defining knocks. From 2008 to 2013, Jayawardene’s artistry at the crease gave IPL fans enduring memories of class and composure.

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.
