IPL legend Sachin Tendulkar lit up six electrifying seasons for Mumbai Indians, stacking up 2,334 runs across 78 innings with a strike-rate of 119. The Master Blaster peppered 295 boundaries and 29 towering sixes, crafting 13 half-centuries and one scintillating hundred—his lone IPL ton also doubling as his highest score of 100. Facing 1,948 deliveries, he kept the scoreboard ticking and the crowd roaring, embodying reliability and flair in the blue-and-gold jersey from 2008 to 2013.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
