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.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
