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.

Hardik Pandya IPL career story: 11 seasons, 2749 runs at a 146 strike-rate, 148 sixes, 10 half-centuries Hardik Pandya has been one of the Indian Premier League’s most explosive batting all-rounders since his 2015 debut with Mumbai Indians. Across 140 innings he has unleashed 2,749 runs off just 1,871 balls, translating to a fearsome strike-rate of 146—the sort of number that turns middle-overs into match-winning passages. He has cleared the ropes 148 times and found the boundary another 207 times, underlining why captains post straight long-on and deep mid-wicket for him from ball one. His highest score of 91 and ten half-centuries show he can both finish innings and anchor them when required. While Pandya’s primary currency is runs, he has also delivered 78 wickets in 107 bowling innings, including one five-for and five three-wicket bursts. Operating at an economy of 9.18 and a strike-rate of 20.87, he often bowls the difficult overs at the death, trusting his cutters and the slower ball. Having represented Mumbai Indians for eight of his eleven campaigns and captained Gujarat Titans to the 2022 title, Pandya’s dual-skill value has made him a marquee name every mega auction.
