N Burger IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals’ left-arm pace sensation who turned the powerplay into his personal playground. In his debut season the 25-year-old South African made an instant impact with 7 wickets from only 102 balls, striking every 14.57 deliveries—one of the fastest rates among rookies. Operating with an economy of 8.53 in high-scoring venues, Burger kept batsmen guessing with subtle swing and clever change-ups, twice snaring two-in-an-over to derail innings. Though he never reached a three-wicket haul, his consistency—every appearance produced at least one breakthrough—helped RR defend par totals and climb the points table. Five bowling innings, seven wickets, zero hundreds conceded: that’s the Burger story so far.

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.
