Will Jacks, IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians – the English dasher has turned his two-season cameo into instant highlight-reel material. Across 19 innings Jacks has bludgeoned 463 runs at a turbo-charged strike-rate of 152, translating to a boundary every 4.4 balls – 38 fours and 29 sixes in total. His maiden IPL hundred came at the 2025 season opener, an unbeaten 100 that set the tone for Mumbai’s campaign, and he has already stacked two half-centuries to go with it. While primarily drafted as a match-winning top-order bat, Jacks’ off-spin offers a smart secondary option; 8 wickets from 138 balls at a strike-rate of 17.25 show he can break partnerships when needed. Yet the story remains his batting pyrotechnics: 152 runs per 100 balls, 29 maximums clearing ropes from Mumbai to Bengaluru and back, and a fearless approach that has made the 27-year-old one of the league’s quickest-scoring imports.

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.
