IPL spinner Pravin Dubey has quietly built a reputation as a wily leg-break bowler across three seasons with Delhi Capitals and now Punjab Kings. In just 13 overs spread across five bowling innings, the 30-year-old has already snapped two key wickets, including a best of 1 for 15, and is striking every 39 balls—numbers that put him in the sharp-end bracket of emerging Indian tweakers. Operating at a tidy economy of 8.54 on batting-friendly tracks in 2025, Dubey’s ability to stem the run-flow while hunting breakthroughs makes him a valuable middle-overs option for the Kings. With the bat, Dubey is still waiting for his first big knock: 23 runs off 33 balls in two brief outings, a highest of 16, and a couple of crisp fours show flashes of lower-order hitting that captains can bank on when the game stretches to the death. Three IPL campaigns, two franchises, and a growing sense that the next big story from Punjab Kings’ spin cupboard could yet be written by Pravin Dubey.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
