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.

Liam Livingstone has become one of the most feared power-hitters in IPL cricket, his six-year journey underlining explosive match-winning ability. Across 47 innings the Englishman has smashed 1 051 runs at a jaw-dropping strike-rate of 158, translating to almost 1.6 runs per ball. A staggering 75 sixes accompany 70 fours, proving he can clear ropes or pierce gaps with equal disdain. Seven half-centuries peak at an unbeaten 94, showing he can anchor as well as assault. Equally telling is his versatility across franchises: Livingstone has turned out for Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and now Royal Challengers Bengaluru, adapting instantly to new dressing rooms and still producing fireworks. While primarily a batting juggernaut, his off-spin has quietly claimed 13 wickets in 27 appearances, including a three-wicket burst that highlights his utility as a sixth bowler. In 2025, donning RCB colours at M Chinnaswamy, Livingstone’s 360-degree range promises more belligerent knocks and soaring six counts. Fantasy managers and fans alike label him a must-pick for his boundary clearance skills and ability to tilt games in a blink.
