🏏 Matt Short vs Navdeep Saini - 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.


Navdeep Saini IPL profile: 23 wickets in 32 innings, fastest ball 150 kmph+, economy 8.88, best 3/34 Since his debut in IPL 2019, Navdeep Saini has emerged as one of the most explosive Indian pace bowlers, lighting up the league with raw pace and wicket-taking bursts. Over five seasons—three with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the last two with Rajasthan Royals—the 31-year-old right-arm quick has sent down 658 balls, claiming 23 wickets at a strike rate of 28.61. His standout spell came in 2020 when he rattled Kolkata Knight Riders with career-best figures of 3 for 34, the only three-wicket haul of his IPL journey. While his economy of 8.88 shows he has been targeted, Saini’s ability to hit the deck hard has kept batters wary; 13 of his 23 scalps have come via pace and bounce on Indian decks. Though primarily known for his bowling firepower, Saini has chipped in with the bat when needed. Across seven brief innings he has scored 33 runs, including three boundaries, and held his nerve to remain unbeaten on 12—his highest IPL score—during a tense chase for RCB in 2020. After moving to Rajasthan Royals in 2022, Saini has become a key cog in their middle-overs assault, tying down opponents and hunting breakthroughs in the spin-friendly conditions of Jaipur. With 23 wickets already to his name and the ability to breach 150 kmph, the Haryana speedster is poised for an even bigger impact in IPL 2024.
