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.

Suryakumar Yadav – the man universally known as “SKY” – has spent 13 electrifying IPL seasons turning the 22-yard strip into his personal launchpad. Across 151 innings he has blazed 4,311 runs from 2,900 balls, a strike-rate of 148 that underlines relentless aggression rather than mere accumulation. The right-hander has cleared the ropes 168 times and found the fence another 454 instances, giving him more than one boundary every fifth legal delivery he faces. Two centuries and 29 half-centuries – including a career-best 103 – sit on his résumé, proving that the pyrotechnics are backed by substance when the team needs a big knock. SKY’s journey began with Mumbai Indians in 2012, shifted to Kolkata Knight Riders for four productive years, then returned to the blue-and-gold in 2018. Since that homecoming he has worn the MI colours every single season up to 2025, becoming the heartbeat of the middle order at the Wankhede. With 4,311 runs he now sits among the league’s elite run-getters, and the fact that he has done it at a near-150 strike-rate makes the record even more formidable. Whether scooping over short fine-leg, sweeping fast bowlers, or muscling sixes into the stands, Suryakumar Yadav has re-defined 360-degree batting in the IPL and shows no signs of slowing down.
