🏏 Matt Short vs M Theekshana - IPL Careers Overview

Matt Short IPL 2023 Review: Punjab Kings’ Power-Packed Top-Order Asset Australian opener Matt Short burst onto the IPL stage in 2023 with Punjab Kings, turning just 92 balls into 117 runs at a fiery strike rate of 127. Across six innings the right-hander peppered boundaries with 15 fours and four sixes, never letting the run-rate drop below a run-a-ball. His season-best 36 showcased the fearless approach that has made him a sought-after T20 specialist, and his 127 SR ranks among the highest for any debutant facing 90-plus deliveries last year. While primarily deployed as a pinch-hitting batsman, Short also rolled his arm over in three matches, conceding only 25 runs from four tight overs (economy 6.25) and keeping opposition batters guessing with subtle changes of pace. Although he is yet to claim his first IPL wicket, the control he offers gives Punjab Kings an extra bowling option on sluggish Indian tracks. With one season, one franchise and a growing reputation for quick runs, Matt Short has already stamped his identity as a 360-degree match-winner in the making. Expect bigger scores and more fireworks from the Punjab Kings opener when IPL 2024 rolls around.


M Theekshana IPL profile: 36 wickets in 38 innings, 8.27 economy, 24.33 strike-rate Sri Lanka’s mystery spinner M Theekshana has quietly become one of the most economical bowlers in the Indian Premier League. Across four seasons—three with Chennai Super Kings and the ongoing 2025 campaign with Rajasthan Royals—he has sent down 876 balls, conceded 1,207 runs and claimed 36 wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 24.33. Twice he has ripped out three wickets in an innings, his best figures reading 4-wicket bursts that choke the middle overs. While his batting remains a footnote—17 runs in 34 balls with a solitary six—Theekshana’s real value lies in strangling batters during the seven-to-fifteen over phase. Operating at 8.27 runs per over, he forces even power-hitters to second-guess their scoring options. In 2025, wearing the Royals’ pink, the 24-year-old has already become Sanju Samson’s go-to enforcer, spinning webs around opposition line-ups and giving Rajasthan a cutting edge on slow tracks. Expect more economical masterclasses as the tournament progresses.
