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.

Riley Meredith IPL 2023: 19 wickets in 18 innings, fastest Australian pacer in Mumbai Indians attack Australian speedster Riley Meredith finished IPL 2023 as one of Mumbai Indians’ most reliable death-over weapons, snaring 19 scalps across three seasons with the five-time champions. Operating at a strike-rate of 20.42 balls per wicket and touching speeds in excess of 140 kph, Meredith kept batsmen guessing on the traditionally batting-friendly Indian tracks. His standout spell came in 2022 when he rattled the opposition with twin-wicket bursts in back-to-back games, proving why MI invested in him for consecutive auctions. Across 388 deliveries for Mumbai and earlier for Punjab Kings, Meredith conceded 612 runs while maintaining a brisk economy of 9.46—numbers that underline his role of hunting breakthroughs rather than merely containing. Not yet a five-wicket haul name, the 27-year-old’s ability to deliver two-wicket cameos makes him a floating X-factor in the powerplay and the slog overs. With 2024 on the horizon, expect the Tasmanian quick to add more wickets to his IPL tally and tighten that economy as he eyes his first three-wicket haul in the tournament.
