Chetan Sakariya IPL summary: the 26-year-old left-arm quick has turned his four-season journey into a compelling comeback story, now wearing the purple-and-gold of Kolkata Knight Riders in 2025. Over 20 bowling innings he has snapped 20 wickets at a brisk strike rate of 22.20 balls per scalp, twice rocking the opposition with three-fers. While his economy sits at 8.62, the real narrative is how he keeps chipping away—444 balls, 638 runs, yet every spell carries the promise of a breakthrough. With the bat he remains a rare cameo: 20 runs from 31 balls, three fours, and a highest of 7. From Rajasthan Royals in 2021 to Delhi Capitals in 2022-23 and now KKR, Sakariya’s left-arm swing remains a sought-after weapon in crunch overs.

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.
