IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians’ six-hitting machine Naman Dhir has turned 217 balls into 392 runs in only two seasons, lighting up the Wankhede with 23 sixes and 36 fours at a blistering strike-rate of 180. The Haryana dasher announced himself in 2024, but the leap in 2025 has been eye-catching: a 62-run demolition job remains his highest score and the lone fifty so far, yet every outing underlines why MI back him as a finisher. Nineteen innings, one fifty, zero centuries—Dhir’s story is less about milestones and more about mayhem in the death overs. While he has rolled his arm over for 52 balls without claiming a wicket, economy of 8.77 shows he can hold a spot even when the bat cools. With MI retaining the right-hander for the third straight year, fantasy managers and fans alike are bracing for more fireworks from Naman Dhir in IPL 2026.

Suryakumar Yadav – the man universally known as “SKY” – has spent 13 electrifying IPL seasons turning the 22-yard strip into his personal launchpad. Across 151 innings he has blazed 4,311 runs from 2,900 balls, a strike-rate of 148 that underlines relentless aggression rather than mere accumulation. The right-hander has cleared the ropes 168 times and found the fence another 454 instances, giving him more than one boundary every fifth legal delivery he faces. Two centuries and 29 half-centuries – including a career-best 103 – sit on his résumé, proving that the pyrotechnics are backed by substance when the team needs a big knock. SKY’s journey began with Mumbai Indians in 2012, shifted to Kolkata Knight Riders for four productive years, then returned to the blue-and-gold in 2018. Since that homecoming he has worn the MI colours every single season up to 2025, becoming the heartbeat of the middle order at the Wankhede. With 4,311 runs he now sits among the league’s elite run-getters, and the fact that he has done it at a near-150 strike-rate makes the record even more formidable. Whether scooping over short fine-leg, sweeping fast bowlers, or muscling sixes into the stands, Suryakumar Yadav has re-defined 360-degree batting in the IPL and shows no signs of slowing down.
