Tim David IPL record: 846 runs in 44 innings, 173 strike-rate, 60 sixes and 54 fours tell the story of a six-hitting specialist who turns every 2.8 balls into a boundary or maximum. Having worn both Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians colours across five seasons, the Singapore-born finisher re-joined RCB in 2025 after three explosive years with MI. His lone half-century—a 50*—came at a pace that underlined his role as a death-over destroyer, while his 60 towering sixes rank among the most for any non-opener in the competition. With zero wickets and no bowling duties, David’s value is purely with the willow: he scores at nearly two runs a ball, clears ropes more often than he finds gaps, and has become a must-watch power-hitter whenever the slog overs arrive.

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.
