Mujeeb Ur Rahman has quietly built a reputation as an IPL mystery-spinner who turns the ball both ways and, more importantly, turns games. Across five seasons from 2018 to 2025, the Afghan tweaker has featured for Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and now Mumbai Indians, collecting 20 wickets in 20 bowling innings. His strike rate of 22.30 balls per wicket underlines his knack for breaking partnerships, while an economy of 8.34 keeps batters honest even on the flattest decks. The 2025 campaign in the blue and gold of MI marks his latest stop, adding another chapter to a journey that began with Punjab in 2018. Mujeeb’s best day arrived when he ripped out 3/15 – his only three-wicket haul – showing that when the surface offers grip he can run through sides. Off the field, he is the rare bowler who can swing a long handle: 12 runs from 15 balls, including two crisp fours and a highest score of 10, prove he won’t just hang around. With 446 balls already sent down in the league’s most pressure-cooker stages, Mujeeb Ur Rahman remains the silent assassin every IPL captain wants in the middle overs.

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.
