Jayant Yadav IPL profile: 7 seasons, 8 wickets, 6.85 economy – the off-spinner who quietly strangles batters Since 2015 Jayant Yadav has carved a niche as a reliable off-break bowler across Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians and now Gujarat Titans. In 20 IPL bowling innings he has sent down 390 balls, conceded only 445 runs and claimed 8 wickets at a strike-rate of 48.75. While the marquee hauls of 3 or 5 wickets have eluded him, his economy rate of 6.85 stands out in a league where every extra run is pounced upon. His 2023 stint with Gujarat Titans reinforced this reputation: one-wicket bursts, middle-overs control and a calm head under pressure. With the bat Jayant has been sparingly used—four innings, 40 runs, two fours and one six—but the strike-rate of 111 shows intent whenever promotion is required. The story of Jayant Yadav is of discipline over dazzle: 7 seasons, 3 franchises, one consistent trick—tie down batters, slip in the breakthrough, keep the scoreboard breathing at under seven an over.

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.
