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.

Hardik Pandya IPL career story: 11 seasons, 2749 runs at a 146 strike-rate, 148 sixes, 10 half-centuries Hardik Pandya has been one of the Indian Premier League’s most explosive batting all-rounders since his 2015 debut with Mumbai Indians. Across 140 innings he has unleashed 2,749 runs off just 1,871 balls, translating to a fearsome strike-rate of 146—the sort of number that turns middle-overs into match-winning passages. He has cleared the ropes 148 times and found the boundary another 207 times, underlining why captains post straight long-on and deep mid-wicket for him from ball one. His highest score of 91 and ten half-centuries show he can both finish innings and anchor them when required. While Pandya’s primary currency is runs, he has also delivered 78 wickets in 107 bowling innings, including one five-for and five three-wicket bursts. Operating at an economy of 9.18 and a strike-rate of 20.87, he often bowls the difficult overs at the death, trusting his cutters and the slower ball. Having represented Mumbai Indians for eight of his eleven campaigns and captained Gujarat Titans to the 2022 title, Pandya’s dual-skill value has made him a marquee name every mega auction.
