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.

Piyush Chawla IPL profile: 192 wickets in 191 innings across 16 seasons, proving why he is one of the most durable and successful spinners in the league’s history. From his explosive debut with Punjab Kings in 2008 to his latest spell for Mumbai Indians in 2024, Chawla has bowled 3 850 balls, conceded 5 108 runs and never let the asking rate climb above 7.96 an over. His strike-rate of 20.05 balls per wicket underlines relentless pressure, while 15 three-wicket bursts and a best of 4/19 show match-turning ability. With 20 IPL teams changing hands around him, Chawla remained a constant, wearing five different jerseys yet always delivering the same sharp leg-breaks and clever googlies. When called upon, he has swung the long handle too, smashing 56 fours and 20 sixes in 624 runs at a strike-rate of 110, including a fearless unbeaten 24. Sixteen summers, 192 scalps, one enduring legacy: Piyush Chawla is the silent architect of many an IPL triumph.
