Indian players with high strike rate(140+) in IPL

Which all Indian players in IPL history have been high strike rate batsman? I am sure there aren't many, most prefer to be in 130-135 range but let's call out all the names who have been around for a while and have still maintained 140+ strike rate in their IPL history.

 

Sehwag 155 S/R, AVG 27

Pant 147 S/R, AVG 34

Pandya 146 S/R, AVG 29

Shaw 146 S/R, AVG 25

Y Pathan 142 S/R, AVG 29

 

Sehwag was simply one of his type, always batted at high strike rate and didn't cared much about his runs tally or stats padding ever.

 

Yousuf was excellent, during the time he played, strike rates were lower but he maintained a very good 142 which would probably have been 146-147 had he played in recent years.

 

Other impact players with good strike rate are Raina(136), Samson(136) and SKY(136). Rahul has a S/R of 136 after averaging 148. Most of the others strike under 135 which is not good enough in my opinion.

The difference is because these foriegners are selected from all other countries combined. Most of them are among top 3-4 names there as well. Don't remember many foriegn batsmen striking over 150 (good sample space) either.( In general Aussies and West Indians have better power hitting. Maybe something to do boundary sizes.)
