Shubham Dubey IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals’ six-hitting finisher who turns 85 balls into 139 runs at 163 strike-rate. In two short seasons with RR the left-handed power-hitter has smashed 10 sixes—one every 8.5 balls—alongside 9 fours, showcasing fearless middle-order batting. Although yet to cross fifty, his 34* stands as proof of rapid-fire cameos that tilt games. With zero wickets across zero bowling innings, Dubey is clearly a batting specialist; his story told through boundary-clearing intent, not bowling figures.

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.
