In 15 bowling innings across three seasons (2015, 2016, 2023) with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders, Wiese has snapped 16 wickets at a strike-rate of 18.5 balls per scalp, including a best of 4/33. Operating at an economy of 8.92, he has kept hitters honest for 296 deliveries while conceding 440 runs. When the stage flips, Wiese’s 148 runs off 101 balls showcase a fearless 146 strike-rate—punctuated by 12 fours and 7 sixes—with a top score of 47. Eleven batting innings have seen him finish unbeaten on multiple occasions, underlining his finishing skills. From 2015 to 2023, David Wiese remains one of IPL’s most reliable utility players, capable of shifting momentum with either discipline.

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.
