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.

Hardik Pandya IPL career story: 11 seasons, 2749 runs at a 146 strike-rate, 148 sixes, 10 half-centuries Hardik Pandya has been one of the Indian Premier League’s most explosive batting all-rounders since his 2015 debut with Mumbai Indians. Across 140 innings he has unleashed 2,749 runs off just 1,871 balls, translating to a fearsome strike-rate of 146—the sort of number that turns middle-overs into match-winning passages. He has cleared the ropes 148 times and found the boundary another 207 times, underlining why captains post straight long-on and deep mid-wicket for him from ball one. His highest score of 91 and ten half-centuries show he can both finish innings and anchor them when required. While Pandya’s primary currency is runs, he has also delivered 78 wickets in 107 bowling innings, including one five-for and five three-wicket bursts. Operating at an economy of 9.18 and a strike-rate of 20.87, he often bowls the difficult overs at the death, trusting his cutters and the slower ball. Having represented Mumbai Indians for eight of his eleven campaigns and captained Gujarat Titans to the 2022 title, Pandya’s dual-skill value has made him a marquee name every mega auction.
