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.

Tanush Kotian IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals’ promising all-rounder made an instant impact in his debut season. In just one innings the 26-year-old top-scored with an unbeaten 24 off 31 balls, striking three crisp fours and rotating the strike at a healthy 77 strike-rate. While he did not clear the ropes, his composure against both pace and spin hinted at a solid domestic record that earned him the Royals call-up. With the ball, Kotian is yet to roll his arm over in IPL colours, but his reputation as a wily off-spinner who can choke runs in the middle overs keeps him on the radar for fantasy managers searching for differential picks. Signed by RR ahead of IPL 2024, Kotian’s limited exposure means every run, wicket and catch will be magnified; his maiden fifty and first three-wicket haul are the milestones every scout will watch for. Keep an eye on this Mumbai-born cricketer—his all-round skill set and hunger to prove himself could turn a breakout performance into a season-defining asset for Rajasthan Royals.
