MS Washington Sundar IPL story: 9 seasons, 39 wickets, 511 runs – the ultimate utility all-rounder for Gujarat Titans in 2025. Since his 2017 debut with Rising Pune Supergiant, Sundar has grown into a bankable power-play banker. Bowling first-change in 63 IPL innings, he has sent down 1,119 balls, choking batters at 7.7 runs an over and striking every 28.7 balls. Three separate three-wicket bursts headline his ledger, with a best of 3 for 16 showing his knack for breaking stubborn stands. With the bat Sundar is no passenger. Forty-three innings have yielded 511 runs at a brisk strike-rate of 126. Forty-two fours and 16 sixes punctuate cameos that peak at 49 – a personal best that underlines his finishing potential. From RCB’s spin-friendly Chinnaswamy to SRH’s three-year project, the off-spinner’s economy has stayed below eight every season. Now in Titans blue for IPL 2025, Washington Sundar offers a rare double threat: a new-ball squeeze and late-order fireworks.

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.
