Kagiso Rabada IPL 2025: 119 wickets, 15.98 strike-rate, 11 three-fors – Gujarat Titans’ pace spearhead South African speedster Kagiso Rabada has become the heartbeat of Gujarat Titans’ attack after eight electric IPL seasons. Across 84 bowling innings the right-armer has blasted 119 wickets, conceding 2,732 runs off 1,902 balls while striking at a razor-sharp 15.98. His economy of 8.62 keeps batters honest in the death overs, and his 11 three-wicket bursts underline his knack for turning matches. Rabada’s peak IPL haul is 4 for 21, and his figures of 3 for 30-or-less have become a reassuring sight for fantasy owners and Titans fans alike. Since debuting with Delhi Capitals in 2017, he spent four seasons in the capital before a three-year stint with Punjab Kings, and now brings his experience to the Titans dressing room in IPL 2025. Though primarily a bowler, Rabada has chipped in with 215 runs at a strike-rate of 106, peppering 16 fours and 9 sixes over 30 innings. His unbeaten 44 remains his high-water mark with the bat. With 119 scalps already in the bag, Rabada is closing in on the IPL’s elite wicket-takers list, and another purple patch in 2025 could push him into the all-time top five.

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.
