Kumar Kartikeya Singh has quietly turned into one of IPL 2025’s most economical impact spinners. Across 16 bowling innings the left-arm orthodox bowler has snapped 12 wickets—never going wicket-less in a spell—while conceding only 407 runs off 282 balls. That translates to a razor-sharp strike-rate of 23.50 balls per scalp and an economy of 8.66, rare figures for a middle-overs operator on high-scoring Indian tracks. His career-best 2 for 18 arrived in Jaipur while donning Rajasthan Royals colours, the franchise that secured his services after two productive seasons with Mumbai Indians. Batting remains a cameo act: 12 runs from 17 balls, one boundary, highest score 6. Yet every time skipper Sanju Samson throws him the ball, Kartikeya delivers control and breakthroughs, making him an underrated asset in RR’s spin armoury for the 2025 IPL season.

Quinton de Kock IPL career snapshot: 3309 runs, 134 sixes, 24 fifties and 2 centuries. The left-handed opener has lit up 12 IPL seasons since 2013, smashing 325 boundaries at a blazing strike rate of 134. His highest score of 140* shows the ceiling when he gets going. After stints with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, RCB and Mumbai Indians, he found rhythm at Lucknow Super Giants where he spent three productive years (2022-24). Ahead of IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders secured his services, banking on his experience of 115 innings at the top. De Kock’s power game is built on clean hitting—134 sixes out of 2469 balls faced—and the ability to convert starts into match-defining knocks, evidenced by 24 half-centuries and two hundreds. His journey from a 2013 debutant with SRH to a seasoned match-winner now wearing KKR purple and gold mirrors his evolution into one of the league’s most consistent run machines.
