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.

Dhruv Chand Jurel IPL profile: Rajasthan Royals’ wicket-keeper batter has become one of the most explosive finishers in the league. Across three seasons with RR—from 2023 to 2025—Jurel has stacked 680 runs off just 442 balls, translating to a strike-rate of 153. His boundary-hitting ability is headline-worthy: 51 fours and 38 sixes in 35 innings mean every 5.2 balls he clears the rope or finds the fence. The youngster has four half-centuries to his name, with a top score of 70*, underlining his knack for turning cameos into match-defining knocks. Jurel’s progression has been steady: debut season flashes, a breakout 2024 and a statement-making 2025 where he kept the Royals’ lower-middle order ticking. In 2025 alone he continued to don the pink and blue of RR, proving his worth as a core long-term asset. With no bowling duties, his sole focus is dismantling bowling attacks late in the innings—a role he has mastered with fearless stroke-play and smart running between the wickets.
