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.

Virat Kohli is the undisputed batting king of the Indian Premier League, a Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifer who has turned loyalty into legend across 18 electrifying seasons from 2008 to 2025. With 8,661 runs off 6,519 balls, Kohli is the league’s highest-ever run-getter, firing at a strike rate of 132 and painting every corner of every ground with 771 fours and 291 towering sixes. His 63 half-centuries and 8 hundreds—topped by a blistering 113*—tell the story of a man who converts starts into statements, walking in 259 innings and delivering a match-defining fifty or hundred in roughly one out of every four trips to the crease. While he has rolled his arm over occasionally, claiming four wickets from 26 bowling innings, it is with the bat that Kohli has authored the IPL’s most enduring chronicle, forever clad in the red and gold of RCB.
