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.

Virat Kohli is the undisputed batting king of the Indian Premier League, a Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifer who has turned loyalty into legend across 18 electrifying seasons from 2008 to 2025. With 8,661 runs off 6,519 balls, Kohli is the league’s highest-ever run-getter, firing at a strike rate of 132 and painting every corner of every ground with 771 fours and 291 towering sixes. His 63 half-centuries and 8 hundreds—topped by a blistering 113*—tell the story of a man who converts starts into statements, walking in 259 innings and delivering a match-defining fifty or hundred in roughly one out of every four trips to the crease. While he has rolled his arm over occasionally, claiming four wickets from 26 bowling innings, it is with the bat that Kohli has authored the IPL’s most enduring chronicle, forever clad in the red and gold of RCB.
