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.

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.
