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.

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.
