KL Rahul has been a consistent performer for the sides he has played for. Rahul has played 145 IPL games and scored 5,222 runs. He has represented Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals. He has combined a calm approach with aggressive strokeplay. Many of KL Rahul's innings have been match-winning but his career in the IPL remains without an IPL trophy.

AB de Villiers

One of the fan's favorite, AB de Villiers scored 5,162 runs in 184 matches he played in the IPL. His ability to hit shots in all corners of the ground made him a popular face in the competition. He played for Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. His unique shots like helicopter and backfoot cover drives are a sight to watch but despite his fantastic batting partnership with Virat Kohli, he could not find himself on the winning side of an IPL tournament.

Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle is perhaps the most explosive batter in the history of the Indian Premier League. In 142 matches he played in the IPL, Chris Gayle smashed 4,965 runs along with 6 centuries. He represented Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kings XI Punjab. His period at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru alongside Kohli and AB de Villiers was one of the fiercest batting line-ups in IPL history. Unbeaten 175 off 66 balls remains one of the highest individual scores in the IPL but that does not seem to hold enough to grant him the trophy.

Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson has played 177 games in the IPL so far and has amassed 4,704 runs including 3 centuries. He has captained the Rajasthan Royals very well but the side has fallen short in crucial matches on many occasions leading to the trophy being out of reach for the keeper-batsman.

Rishabh Pant

One of the most entertaining players, Rishabh Pant has played 125 IPL games and scored 3,553 runs in these games for Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. Rishabh Pant is a hard hitter of the ball and his fearless batting ability could change games around. The dynamic keeper-batter led Delhi Capitals to an IPL final in 2020 but his team could not win the trophy.
