Naman Ojha IPL profile: 1,554 runs, 118 strike-rate, 94* best, 6 fifties, 121 fours, 79 sixes across 10 seasons with Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. From 2009 to 2018 Naman Ojha built a reputation as one of the most explosive wicket-keeper batsmen in IPL history. In 94 innings the right-hander faced 1,313 balls and cleared the ropes 79 times while finding the gap 121 times, turning every 11th ball into a boundary. Six bruising half-centuries sit alongside a career-best unbeaten 94, showcasing his ability to accelerate through the gears on good batting decks. Ojha’s journey began with Rajasthan Royals in 2009, where flashes of power-hitting first caught the eye. A move to Delhi Capitals in 2011 saw him become a mainstay at the top order, bringing rare muscle to the franchise’s batting line-up. After three productive seasons he switched to Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014, adding 200-plus runs in each of his three campaigns there. A return to Delhi for the 2018 season closed the loop on a decade that saw the Madhya Pradesh keeper adapt to every challenge thrown his way. With a strike-rate of 118 and no centuries to his name, Ojha’s story is not one of accumulation but impact: when he fired, matches turned quickly. His 1554 runs came at break-neck pace, making him the ideal floater in any T20 batting order.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
