Shikhar Dhawan IPL Story: 17 seasons, 6,769 runs, 51 half-centuries, 768 fours, 152 sixes, 127 strike rate, 2 centuries, 106* highest, 221 innings, 5,324 balls faced.

IPL legend Matthew Hayden lit up the league from 2008 to 2010, all three seasons spent smashing attacks in Chennai Super Kings yellow. In just 32 innings the left-handed opener stacked up 1,107 runs off only 805 balls, translating to a blistering strike-rate of 137. His boundary count—121 fours and 44 sixes—tells the story of an intimidator who loved the arc between cover and long-on. Hayden crossed fifty eight times, peaking at 93, and even though he never reached three figures, the missing century only adds intrigue to his dominance. Zero wickets confirm he earned every rupee with the bat, not the ball.
