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.

Trent Boult IPL bowling maestro: 143 wickets in 119 innings across 11 seasons, 2025 return to Mumbai Indians, swing and pace legend, 12 three-wicket hauls, best 4 for, economy 8.38, strike rate 18.76, 2683 balls of left-arm magic, 3747 runs conceded, powerplay wrecker, yorker king, death-over assassin, from Sunrisers 2015 to Royals 2022-24 and back to MI, Boult has turned opening spells into highlights reels and blue-chip wickets into match-defining moments; with the bat he’s chipped in 85 runs at a 104 strike rate, 3 sixes and 5 fours, highest 17, but it’s the 143 scalps that headline every auction room chant and fantasy team pick—Trent Boult, IPL’s perennial new-ball nightmare.
