Arjun Tendulkar IPL 2024: 3 wickets in 5 games, 24.33 strike-rate, 9.37 economy for Mumbai Indians Arjun Tendulkar’s second IPL campaign with Mumbai Indians saw the left-arm seamer log 3 wickets from 73 balls at a sharp strike-rate of 24.33. Bowling 5 innings, he kept his economy at 9.37 while conceding only 114 runs, twice snaring the key scalp of one top-order batter in a spell. His best figures of 1-23 came against Sunrisers Hyderabad on a batting-friendly deck, showcasing the ability to land yorkers under pressure. With the bat, the all-rounder got one chance—smashing 13* off 9 balls including a towering six over long-on for a strike-rate of 144. Across two seasons with MI (2023-24), Tendulkar has grown into a reliable powerplay and death-overs option, giving Rohit Sharma a left-arm variation that Mumbai’s attack lacked.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
