Rajvardhan Hangargekar burst onto the IPL stage in 2023 wearing Chennai Super Kings yellow, and in just two bowling innings the 20-year-old Maharashtra quick showed why MS Dhoni’s side invested in him. Across 36 balls he rattled out three scalps, including a three-wicket burst that announced his arrival. Operating at a strike rate of 12.00 – one wicket every two overs – Hangargekar kept batters guessing with speeds in the high 140s and a clever slower ball. Though he leaked ten runs an over, the raw numbers tell a story of impact: 60 runs conceded for three priceless breakthroughs, including a match-turning 3-for that underlined his knack for striking in clusters. With one three-wicket haul already in his debut season, the right-arm pacer has given CSK a home-grown option who can swing the new ball and nail yorkers at the death. Expect Rajvardhan Hangargekar to build on these eye-catching 2023 figures when the IPL caravan rolls back in 2024.

Yashasvi Bhupendra Jaiswal IPL Story: 2,166 runs, 258 fours, 92 sixes in six seasons with Rajasthan Royals From his 2020 debut to the ongoing 2025 season, Yashasvi Jaiswal has become the beating heart of Rajasthan Royals’ top order. In 66 innings the left-hander has piled up 2,166 runs off just 1,417 balls, translating to a blistering strike rate of 152. The numbers explode further when you notice the 258 fours and 92 sixes, proof of his fearless boundary-hunting style. His fifteen half-centuries and two scintillating hundreds, including a career-best 124, underline match-winning pedigree rather than cameo promise. Having worn the Royals cap every single season since 2020, Jaiswal offers rare continuity in the ever-changing IPL carousel. Each year the franchise has banked on his ability to turn powerplay overs into boundary carnivals, and the opener has delivered with relentless consistency. With no bowling aspirations—his solitary over went for six runs—his entire focus remains on dismantling attacks, making him a pure batting asset in fantasy and real-world XIs alike. Heading into the 2025 playoffs push, expect Yashasvi Jaiswal to keep teeing off at 150-plus strike rates, peppering the arc between long-on and deep point with those 92 sixes and counting.
