Subramaniam Badrinath IPL career summary: the Chennai Super Kings mainstay from 2008 to 2013, stitched 1,441 runs in 65 innings, all in the yellow jersey. A rock-solid No. 3, he faced 1,212 balls, striking at a brisk 118 and peppering 154 fours plus 28 sixes around Indian grounds. Though a century eluded him, he raised his bat eleven times for half-centuries, peaking at an unbeaten 71. Across six seasons under MS Dhoni, Badrinath became CSK’s glue, calmly anchoring chases and accelerating when needed. With zero wickets in zero bowling innings, his story is purely of a batsman who mastered the art of pacing a T20 innings—reliable, elegant, ever-present for the Super Kings dynasty.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
