MG Bracewell IPL 2023: a six-wicket spin show for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In his lone IPL campaign so far, the Kiwi all-rounder turned the ball sharply enough to claim 6 wickets from just 66 balls, striking every 11 deliveries while keeping the lid on at 8.64 runs an over. His best burst of 2-16 came in the middle overs, the phase where RCB needed him most. With the bat he wasn’t just a lower-order filler: 58 runs at a 123 strike-rate, six fours and a six, and a cameo high of 26 lit up brief but vital chases. Four innings, two wickets in a game, zero hundreds yet pure impact—Bracewell’s 2023 snapshot is a short reel of match-changing moments that RCB fans still replay.

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.
