Kuldeep Singh Yadav IPL 2025: 102 wickets in 96 innings, 4-wicket hauls, Delhi Capitals left-arm wrist-spinner story Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Singh Yadav has become the heartbeat of Delhi Capitals’ attack since 2022, and the numbers prove why. After debuting in 2016 with Kolkata Knight Riders, the Uttar Pradesh tweaker has now spent nine IPL seasons, the last four in the Capitals’ camp. Across 96 bowling innings he has snapped 102 wickets, striking once every 20.24 balls while keeping batters guessing at an economy of 8.08. His nine three-wicket bursts and a best of four for 35 underline a knack for breaking partnerships when the match is on the line. The 2025 season marks Kuldeep’s fourth straight campaign in Delhi red-and-blue, making him a rare constant in a franchise that often shuffles personnel. While his 201 runs from 37 innings with the bat show a handy lower-order cameo ability, it is the 2064 deliveries he has bowled—conceding only 2778 runs—that tell the true story. Each dot ball, each dipping wrong ’un, each celebratory leap with arms spread wide has added up to a century of wickets and counting.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
