- Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina is taken into account among the biggest cricketers when it comes to the IPL. He is a true IPL legend. His discography speaks for itself. Raina did not bat higher in the order for India, but he did for CSK in the IPL. Suresh Raina has emerged as one of IPL’s most sustained batsmen. Suresh Raina, also widely recognized as MR. IPL, has scored more than 400 runs in almost every season he has managed to play for CSK. He is reportedly the fourth-highest run-scorer in the IPL, with 5528 runs scored in 205 matches at an average of 32.51.
As during the formative days of the Indian Premier League, no one was as stable as Suresh Raina. For the first seven seasons, the southpaw performed consistently with more than 400 runs. Raina was the first batsman in the Indian Premier League to score 5000 runs.
- Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist, one of the greatest strikers in sporting history, began playing in the Indian Premier League after retiring from international cricket in 2007/08. And he’s been a consistent performer in the league as a captain, batsman, wicketkeeper, and role model for the younger players over the years.
In 34 innings, he scored 849 runs. Adam Gilchrist’s highest IPL score is 106. Gilchrist has one IPL century, four IPL half centuries, four 30+ IPL runs, and eight 20+ IPL runs. In 667 IPL balls, Gilchrist has a strike rate of 127.2 and an average of 24.97. In the IPL, Adam Gilchrist hit 131 boundaries, including 103 fours and 28 sixes. A Gilchrist’s IPL outtype analysis shows that he was lbw twice, bowled four times, stumped once, caught 23 times, and run out twice.
- Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant made his debut for the Delhi Daredevils in 2015, captained by Zaheer Khan. The wicketkeeper-batter is an inherently aggressive middle-order batsman. In a patience-testing tournament like the Ranji Trophy, he performed many counter-attacking innings.
Rishabh Pant became the best overall Indian in IPL history as the Delhi Daredevils faced the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Pant hit his century off 56 balls and then added an undefeated record 128 off 63 balls as DD posted 187/5 from their 20 overs. In 2010, he surpassed Murali Vijay’s 127 for Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals.
- Hardik Pandya
Hardik has been with the Mumbai Indians since his debut in 2015. His attacking style and medium-fast bowling make him an important team player, and he has delivered on several occasions. Hardik Pandya’s enormous consciousness is what distinguishes him from other young cricketers. The vibrant Baroda all-rounder thrives under pressure and never lets it affect his game. Hardik is a big hitter and a fast-bowling all-rounder who checks all the boxes that a team looks for in an all-rounder.
Hardik Pandya appeared in 106 IPL games, scoring 1954 runs in 99 innings. Hardik Pandya’s highest IPL score is 91. Pandya has 0 IPL centuries, 8 IPL half centuries, and 16 IPL runs of 30+ and 15 runs of 20+. In 1319 IPL balls, Pandya has a strike rate of 148.1 and an average of 18.43. In the IPL, Hardik Pandya hit 254 boundaries, including 144 fours and 110 sixes.
- Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir has declared his retirement from cricket in all forms. While his global standing and career statistics are exquisite, he was also a renowned batsman and an incredibly inspiring captain during his Indian Premier League (IPL) career. Gambhir’s time with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from 2011 to 2017 will live on in every IPL fan’s memory, particularly his famous and successful run-scoring that helped KKR win two IPL titles (2012 and 2014). He was in excellent form in 2012, scoring 590 runs in 17 matches at an average of 39.33 and a strike rate of 143.55.
Gambhir currently ranks fifth in IPL run scoring with 4217 runs in 152 innings. His IPL strike rate of 123.88 and average of 31 made him the ideal fit for any T20 team in the world for a batsman who accumulates his innings and appears to believe in attempting to play a ball on its validity.
