Rashid Khan IPL Story: 158 wickets in 9 seasons, 7.09 economy, 20.18 strike-rate—numbers that make Gujarat Titans’ Afghan superstar the league’s most feared spinner. Since 2017 with Sunrisers Hyderabad and from 2022 onwards with GT, Rashid has bowled 3 189 balls, conceding only 3 766 runs while claiming 4-wicket hauls four times and 16 three-fors. His economy stays under-par even on belters, and every 20th ball produces a scalp, keeping middle-overs on lockdown. When the situation demands, Rashid swings long too: 585 runs at 160 strike-rate, 41 fours joined by 41 sixes, a lone fifty and a 79 not-out that remind rivals he is no tail-ender. Across 136 bowling innings and 66 batting knocks, the 2025 season marks his fifth straight in Titans colours, confirming GT’s faith in cricket’s premier T20 wrist-spinner.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
