Josh Hazlewood IPL 2025: 57 wickets in 39 innings, best 4 for, eight 3-wicket bursts, economy 8.28 Australian pace spearhead Josh Hazlewood has turned every IPL season since 2020 into a master-class of new-ball precision and death-over nerve. Across five campaigns—two with Chennai Super Kings (2020-21) and the last three with Royal Challengers Bengaluru—Hazlewood has sent down 867 balls and walked away with 57 wickets, a strike-rate of 15.21 that underlines his knack for breaking partnerships at will. Eight times he has finished an innings with three or more scalps, and his season-best 4-wicket haul stands as proof of his ability to run through line-ups on helpful or flat decks alike. Even while bowling mostly at the toughest overs—powerplay and the back-end—he has kept his economy at 8.28, forcing batters to take the risk against the rest. With the 2025 season confirming his spot as RCB’s go-to enforcer, Hazlewood’s tally of 1,196 runs conceded shows the price he extracts for every inch conceded.

Shreyas Iyer IPL batting story: 3,731 runs, 314 fours, 152 sixes in 131 innings – a strike-rate of 133 that turns every ball into a boundary threat. Ten seasons of consistency, 27 fifties, and a career-best 97 prove he is one of the league’s premier top-order anchors. From captaining Delhi Capitals through their 2018-21 rise to lifting the 2024 Kolkata Knight Riders trophy and now leading Punjab Kings in 2025, Iyer’s bat has done the talking. No wickets, no worries: his 2,798-ball dominance is crafted for run-glut, not dot-ball pressure. Watch for the 314 fours that pierce gaps and the 152 sixes that clear them—Shreyas Iyer remains IPL’s middle-over maestro and powerplay finisher rolled into one.
