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.

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.
