Gowtham K, the hard-hitting all-rounder who has become a fixture for Lucknow Super Giants since 2022, brings explosive batting and handy off-spin to every IPL contest. Across 27 innings he has smashed 247 runs at a blazing strike-rate of 166, translating to a boundary every 4.5 balls when you combine his 15 fours and 17 sixes. His 33 not out remains the highest score, but it is the ability to clear the ropes—nearly one six for every nine balls faced—that makes him such a valuable lower-order finisher. With the ball Gowtham has sent down 588 deliveries over 35 bowling innings, claiming 21 wickets at an economy of 8.24 and a strike-rate of 28.00. Although he is yet to register a three-wicket haul, his knack for breaking partnerships is evident in his two-wicket bursts that have stalled many a batting side. Since debuting with Rajasthan Royals in 2018, moving to Punjab Kings in 2020, and now anchoring the LSG spin department, the Karnataka cricketer has evolved into a genuine impact player whose six-hitting flair and wicket-taking ability can flip matches in the death overs.
