Shubman Gill has turned eight IPL campaigns into a personal highlight reel, stacking up 3,866 runs off 2,787 balls at a strike-rate of 138. The Gujarat Titans opener has already smashed 372 fours and 119 sixes, numbers that translate to more than 40 boundaries every 100 balls he faces. Gill has crossed fifty 26 times and converted four of those into three-figure scores, peaking at a 129-run whirlwind that underlined his appetite for big knocks. Across 114 innings he has anchored, accelerated and dominated, making the Narendra Modi Stadium his second home since 2022 after four formative years with Kolkata Knight Riders. With no wickets to his name, Gill’s story is purely one of willow-wielding brilliance—an ever-present at the top of the order who keeps the scoreboard humming and the opposition captain scrambling for answers.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
