Philip Salt IPL profile: 1,056 runs in 34 innings, 175 strike-rate, 122 fours, 56 sixes—England’s explosive opener has become one of the league’s most feared power-hitters. Since debuting with Delhi Capitals in 2023, Salt has lit up every venue he has graced, collecting ten rapid half-centuries and peaking with an unbeaten 89 that stamped his arrival. After a breakout 2024 with Kolkata Knight Riders, he now dons the Royal Challengers Bengaluru red in 2025, bringing fearless intent to the Chinnaswamy’s short boundaries. Salt attacks from ball one—601 scoring deliveries have rocketed to or over the ropes 178 times, translating to a boundary every 3.4 balls. Whether threading point for four or launching spin into the stands, his 175 strike-rate sits comfortably among the elite. Three seasons, three franchises, one constant: instant impact. Expect more carnage as Salt looks to steer RCB’s title charge with the same explosive flair that has already made him an IPL household name.
