- Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina is regarded as one of the most important cricketers in the IPL. He is an IPL legend. His record collection is self-explanatory. Raina did not bat higher in the order for India, but he did for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Suresh Raina has erupted as one of the most consistent batsmen in the IPL. Suresh Raina, also known as MR. IPL, has scored more than 400 runs in almost every season he has played for CSK. With 5528 runs scored in 205 matches at an average of 32.51, he is apparently the fourth-highest run-scorer in the IPL. Nobody was as consistent as Suresh Raina in the early days of the Indian Premier League. During his first seven seasons, the southpaw hit more than 400 runs on a continual basis. Raina was the first Indian Premier League batsman to reach 5000 runs.
- Adam Gilchrist
After stepping down from international cricket in 2007/08, Adam Gilchrist, one of the biggest strikers in sporting history, started out playing in the Indian Premier League. Over the years, he’s been a reliable player in the league as a captain, batsman, wicketkeeper, and role model for the younger players.
He managed to score 849 runs in 34 innings. Adam Gilchrist has a best IPL score of 106. Gilchrist has one IPL century, four IPL half centuries, four 30-plus IPL runs, and eight 20-plus IPL runs to his name. Gilchrist has a scoring rate of 127.2 and an average of 24.97 in 667 IPL balls. Adam Gilchrist hit 131 boundaries in the IPL, which include 103 fours and 28 sixes. Gilchrist was lbw twice, bowled four times, stumped once, caught 23 times, and run out twice in the IPL, according to an out type of analysis.
- Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant made his Delhi Daredevils debut in 2015, captained by Zaheer Khan. The wicketkeeper-batter is a combative middle-order batsman by nature. He played many counter-attacking innings in a tournament that tested his patience, such as the Ranji Trophy.
As the Delhi Daredevils encountered the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi, Rishabh Pant became the highest rated Indian in IPL history. Pant touched his century off 56 balls and then added an unbeaten streak 128 off 63 balls as DD finished with a total of 187/5 from their 20 overs. He outperformed Murali Vijay’s 127 for Chennai Super Kings vs. Rajasthan Royals in 2010.
- Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya has been a member of the Mumbai Indians since his debut in 2015. His aggressive game and medium-fast bowling make him a valuable team player, and he has proven to be effective on several occasions. Hardik Pandya’s acute awareness sets him apart from other young cricketers. The lively Baroda all-rounder flourishes under tension and never lets it affect his performance. Hardik is a big-hitting, fast-bowling all-rounder who checks all the boxes that a team looks for in an all-rounder.
Hardik Pandya played in 106 IPL games and scored 1954 runs in 99 innings. Hardik Pandya has a best IPL score of 91. Pandya has 0 IPL centuries, 8 IPL half centuries, 16 IPL 30+ runs, and 15 IPL 20+ runs. Pandya does indeed have a strike rate of 148.1 and an average of 18.43 in 1319 IPL balls. Hardik Pandya hit 254 boundaries in the IPL, including 144 fours and 110 sixes.
- Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. While his international credibility and career statistics are outstanding, he was also a highly regarded batsman and a tremendously encouraging skipper during his Indian Premier League (IPL) career. Gambhir’s time with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from 2011 to 2017 will be remembered by every IPL fan for his famous and successful run-scoring, which helped KKR win two IPL titles (2012 and 2014). In 2012, he was in great form, scoring 590 runs in 17 matches at an average of 39.33 and a strike rate of 143.55.
With 4217 runs in 152 innings, Gambhir currently ranks fifth in IPL run scoring. His IPL strike rate of 123.88 and average of 31 made him an excellent fit for any T20 team in the world looking for a batsman who accrues innings and appears to have faith in playing a ball based on its validity.
