Ravi Bopara IPL profile: 531 runs in 22 innings at a strike-rate of 117, 39 fours and 16 sixes, three half-centuries peaking at 84. From 2009 to 2015 he turned out for Punjab Kings and later Sunrisers Hyderabad, crafting cameos in the middle order with the assurance of a seasoned finisher. With the ball the English all-rounder snared 11 wickets in 14 spells, recording one three-wicket burst and conceding only 8.5 an over. Across 453 balls faced and 206 balls bowled, Bopara’s value lay in balance—capable of swinging momentum with bat or ball in any given match.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
