Aiden Markram IPL profile: 1 440 runs off 1 066 balls, 135 strike-rate, 68 highest score, 10 fifties, 111 fours, 57 sixes in 55 innings for Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings across five seasons 2021-2025. The South African right-hander averages a boundary every third legal delivery and clears the rope once every 18 balls, making him one of the most explosive top-order options in the league. While he has sent down 187 balls and picked up six wickets at an economy of 8.79, batting remains his calling card—no centuries yet but a relentless stream of half-century cameos that swing matches.

Ashish Nehra IPL career: 106 wickets in 88 innings, 14 three-wicket bursts, best 4 for 10, economy 7.85, strike-rate 18. Overs nine seasons from 2008 to 2017, the left-arm quick turned powerplay destroyer for Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Pune Warriors, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 2015-16 he spearheaded CSK and SRH attacks, returning 24 wickets in 17 games. His 1908 balls cost only 2495 runs, a testament to discipline on Indian decks. With the bat Nehra was never the headline, yet 41 runs at 66 strike-rate and three fours plus one towering six show he could swing if needed. Highest score 22 off 14, 17 innings, no fifty but plenty of sting in the tail.
