Arshdeep Singh has been Punjab Kings’ death-over assassin since 2019, and his numbers across seven IPL seasons tell the story of a left-arm sealer who keeps getting better. With 97 wickets from 81 spells—and a strike rate of 17.67 balls per scalp—he has become one of the league’s most reliable finishers. His economy sits at nine runs per over, but that figure masks the pressure he exerts in the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th overs, where yorkers and wide-slower balls have fetched him ten three-wicket hauls and one five-for. 2025 sees him still wearing the PBKS crest, his only IPL jersey since debut. He has bowled 1,714 balls and conceded 2,570 runs while seldom offering a loose delivery at the death. The highlight reel peaks at a five-wicket burst, proof that when the game is on the line, Arshdeep is the man entrusted to defend even 30 off 12. With the bat he remains a rare sight—31 runs from 46 balls in 13 brief cameos—yet that scarcity underlines his primary role: a strike bowler who can swing a match in two deliveries. As the IPL caravan rolls on, Arshdeep Singh’s 97-wicket tally and 17.67 strike rate keep him atop every fantasy scout’s watch-list and every rival batting order’s danger chart.

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.
