Kyle Jamieson IPL profile: towering fast bowler who has already pocketed 14 wickets in just 13 innings, including two three-wicket hauls. The 6'8" New Zealander joined Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 after a 2021 stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and his impact has been immediate. Operating at a brisk economy of 9.67, Jamieson’s 18.43 balls-per-wicket strike-rate underlines his wicket-taking knack, while his season-best 3 for keeps opposition top-orders on alert. With the bat he adds handy lower-order muscle, striking at 108 and clearing the rope three times in 60 balls faced. Across two seasons Jamieson has delivered 258 balls of controlled pace, conceded 416 runs and still finished as one of the most economical big quicks on show. Expect more breakthroughs and late-order fireworks from the Punjab Kings spearhead as the 2025 campaign unfolds.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
