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.
