Rinku Singh IPL story: 1,099 runs in 51 innings, 87 fours and 56 sixes at a 145 strike-rate, four half-centuries, highest 67*, all for Kolkata Knight Riders since 2018. A pure power-hitter who has never bowled a single ball in the league, Rinku has become the Knight Riders’ designated finisher, sending 143 balls to or over the fence while facing 757 in total. After seven straight seasons in purple and gold, he steps into IPL 2025 with the reputation of turning every 20th delivery he faces into a boundary and every 13th into a maximum.

Quinton de Kock IPL career snapshot: 3309 runs, 134 sixes, 24 fifties and 2 centuries. The left-handed opener has lit up 12 IPL seasons since 2013, smashing 325 boundaries at a blazing strike rate of 134. His highest score of 140* shows the ceiling when he gets going. After stints with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, RCB and Mumbai Indians, he found rhythm at Lucknow Super Giants where he spent three productive years (2022-24). Ahead of IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders secured his services, banking on his experience of 115 innings at the top. De Kock’s power game is built on clean hitting—134 sixes out of 2469 balls faced—and the ability to convert starts into match-defining knocks, evidenced by 24 half-centuries and two hundreds. His journey from a 2013 debutant with SRH to a seasoned match-winner now wearing KKR purple and gold mirrors his evolution into one of the league’s most consistent run machines.
