Abhishek Nayar Innings: 50 Runs: 672 Top score: 45*
Teams: Mumbai Indians, Kings XI Punjab, Pune Warriors, Rajasthan Royals
Significant innings: Mumbai Indians only won two of the nine matches in which Nayar scored 25 or more in 2008 and 2009: his highest score came in a thrilling chase they did not pull off against Chennai. He only played three matches for Mumbai Indians in 2010, and his batting average and strike-rate nosedived in subsequent seasons•BCCI

Stuart Binny Innings: 43 Runs: 622 Top score: 48*
Teams: Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals
Significant innings: Binny's best season with the bat was in 2013, occupying the No. 4 spot for Royals while batting first and donning the role of a finisher in successful chases against Warriors and Super Kings. His IPL best came the next season in a successful final-over chase against Sunrisers, but that remained his only innings of note•BCCI

Mithun Manhas Innings: 38 Runs: 514 Top score: 42*
Teams: Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors, Chennai Super Kings
Significant innings: Like Nayar, Manhas' best too came in a loss, when Warriors lost by one run chasing 120 against Mumbai Indians in 2012. That was one of just eight scores of 25 or more in the IPL: in 2010, he supported Gautam Gambhir in taking Daredevils home against Kings XI and Super Kings. He hardly made an impact during Warriors' disastrous IPL existence (2011-13), and hardly got an opportunity once he moved to Super Kings in 2014•AFP

Piyush Chawla Innings: 60 Runs: 436 Top score: 24*
Teams: Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders
Significant innings: A score of 13 may not seem much, but that's what Chawla made in five balls to help Knight Riders chase down 200 against Kings XI - the team he represented for the first six seasons - in the closely-fought 2014 IPL final. A useful lower-order batsmen, Chawla has five scores of 20-plus - two of them coming when batting at No. 5 for Kings XI•BCCI
