Mustafizur Rahman, the left-arm Bangladeshi pace sensation, has become one of the IPL’s most consistent wicket-takers since his 2016 debut. Across eight seasons—representing Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and now Delhi Capitals—he has claimed 65 wickets in 60 bowling innings, striking every 20.98 balls at an economy of 8.13. His seven three-wicket hauls and a best of 4-for underline his knack for breaking partnerships, while his 1,364 balls bowled show a workload few quicks can match. With the bat, he remains a rare sight: 13 runs from 24 balls, including one six, and a highest score of 8. The “Fizz” story is written in wickets, not runs, and IPL 2025 sees him back in Delhi Capitals colours, poised to add fresh chapters to his legacy.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
