Akash Singh IPL 2025: 9 wickets, two teams & the rise of Lucknow Super Giants’ left-arm pacer Left-arm seamer Akash Singh has quietly transformed from a 2021 Rajasthan Royals debutant into a key new-ball weapon for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. Across three seasons and three different franchises, the 22-year-old has bowled 205 balls, claimed nine scalps at a strike-rate of 22.78 and kept his economy under 9.6. Although he is yet to record a three-wicket haul, his ability to strike twice in a spell—evidenced by his 2-wicket best—has already disrupted top orders. From donning the Royals’ pink in 2021, to Chennai Super Kings’ yellow in 2023, and now the vibrant LSG blue, Singh’s journey mirrors a modern IPL traveller honing his craft against the toughest stages. Nine wickets in ten bowling innings tell the story of a bowler trusted in crunch moments, while the 326 runs conceded reveal the thin margin between risk and reward in T20 cricket.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
