DS Rathi burst onto the IPL scene in 2025 with Lucknow Super Giants and immediately stamped himself as the franchise’s breakout bowling star. Across 13 high-pressure innings the 25-year-old mystery spinner claimed 14 wickets—more than one per match—while operating at a sharp strike-rate of 22.29 balls per wicket. His best figures of 2 for 24 showcased his knack for breaking partnerships, and with an economy of 8.25 he proved equally effective in the power-play and at the death. Rathi’s only outing with the bat was brief—1 run from 3 balls—but it is his 14 scalps that tell the real story of his debut campaign. Fans searching for “LSG spinner DS Rathi IPL 2025 wickets” will find a bowler who translated 312 deliveries into 429 runs conceded and a truckload of pressure for rival batting units.

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.
