Prithvi Shaw has been Delhi Capitals’ pocket-rocket opener since 2018, lighting up seven IPL seasons with a fearless brand of batting built on one mantra—see the ball, hit the ball. Across 79 innings the right-hander has piled up 1,892 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 147, turning every delivery into potential fireworks. Those numbers translate to 238 fours and 61 sixes that have dented advertising hoardings and opposition morale alike. While the three-figure mark has narrowly eluded him—his highest remains an agonising 99—Shaw has still crossed fifty on 14 occasions, proving he can both explode and anchor when the situation demands. Every season the 24-year-old has donned the DC blue, making the Ferozeshah Kotla his personal playground. With 238 boundaries already to his name, Shaw is chasing the rare 250-fours club, and at his current pace the landmark could arrive as early as IPL 2025.

Akash Singh IPL 2025: 9 wickets, two teams & the rise of Lucknow Super Giants’ left-arm pacer Left-arm seamer Akash Singh has quietly transformed from a 2021 Rajasthan Royals debutant into a key new-ball weapon for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. Across three seasons and three different franchises, the 22-year-old has bowled 205 balls, claimed nine scalps at a strike-rate of 22.78 and kept his economy under 9.6. Although he is yet to record a three-wicket haul, his ability to strike twice in a spell—evidenced by his 2-wicket best—has already disrupted top orders. From donning the Royals’ pink in 2021, to Chennai Super Kings’ yellow in 2023, and now the vibrant LSG blue, Singh’s journey mirrors a modern IPL traveller honing his craft against the toughest stages. Nine wickets in ten bowling innings tell the story of a bowler trusted in crunch moments, while the 326 runs conceded reveal the thin margin between risk and reward in T20 cricket.
