Tanush Kotian IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals’ promising all-rounder made an instant impact in his debut season. In just one innings the 26-year-old top-scored with an unbeaten 24 off 31 balls, striking three crisp fours and rotating the strike at a healthy 77 strike-rate. While he did not clear the ropes, his composure against both pace and spin hinted at a solid domestic record that earned him the Royals call-up. With the ball, Kotian is yet to roll his arm over in IPL colours, but his reputation as a wily off-spinner who can choke runs in the middle overs keeps him on the radar for fantasy managers searching for differential picks. Signed by RR ahead of IPL 2024, Kotian’s limited exposure means every run, wicket and catch will be magnified; his maiden fifty and first three-wicket haul are the milestones every scout will watch for. Keep an eye on this Mumbai-born cricketer—his all-round skill set and hunger to prove himself could turn a breakout performance into a season-defining asset for Rajasthan Royals.

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.
