Aavesh Khan IPL 2025: 87 wickets in 9 seasons, fiery Lucknow Super Giants spearhead Since his 2017 debut with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Aavesh Khan has evolved into one of the Indian Premier League’s most consistent pace enforcers. Across nine seasons and 75 bowling innings, the right-arm quick has claimed 87 wickets while sending down 1,619 balls of relentless pace and precision. His career-best figures of 4 for 20 and 11 three-wicket hauls underline his habit of breaking partnerships, and an impressive strike rate of 18.6 balls per wicket keeps batters under constant pressure. Operating at an economy of 9.12 despite bowling predominantly in the death overs, Aavesh balances aggression with control—qualities that persuaded Lucknow Super Giants to bring him back for IPL 2025 after previous stints with Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. While his primary job is to dismantle top orders and stifle finishers, Aavesh has chipped in with the bat when needed. In 12 brief innings he has smashed 62 runs off only 37 balls, striking at 167 and clearing the rope four times. His fearless cameo of 19 off 9 against Gujarat Titans in 2023 showcased the lower-order firepower that can tilt tight games. With five different franchises benefiting from his services and now settled again with LSG, Aavesh Khan’s 87 scalps, 11 three-fers and death-over mastery make him a marquee IPL bowler to watch in the 2025 season and beyond.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
