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.

Rashid Khan IPL Story: 158 wickets in 9 seasons, 7.09 economy, 20.18 strike-rate—numbers that make Gujarat Titans’ Afghan superstar the league’s most feared spinner. Since 2017 with Sunrisers Hyderabad and from 2022 onwards with GT, Rashid has bowled 3 189 balls, conceding only 3 766 runs while claiming 4-wicket hauls four times and 16 three-fors. His economy stays under-par even on belters, and every 20th ball produces a scalp, keeping middle-overs on lockdown. When the situation demands, Rashid swings long too: 585 runs at 160 strike-rate, 41 fours joined by 41 sixes, a lone fifty and a 79 not-out that remind rivals he is no tail-ender. Across 136 bowling innings and 66 batting knocks, the 2025 season marks his fifth straight in Titans colours, confirming GT’s faith in cricket’s premier T20 wrist-spinner.
