Rasikh Salam IPL 2025: 10 wickets in 13 innings, best 3-29, two three-fors for Royal Challengers Bengaluru Fast-rising Jammu & Kashmir seamer Rasikh Salam has quietly become one of IPL 2025’s most reliable death-over operators. Across four seasons with four different franchises—Mumbai Indians (2019), Kolkata Knight Riders (2022), Delhi Capitals (2024) and now Royal Challengers Bengaluru—Salam has bowled 231 balls, conceded 409 runs and struck ten times, including two three-wicket hauls. His strike-rate of 23.1 balls per wicket underlines his habit of breaking partnerships, while an economy of 10.62 shows he is trusted to bowl the tough overs. With the bat, the 23-year-old has chipped in 40 runs from 40 balls, hitting five boundaries without clearing the rope; his highest in six innings is 10*. While primarily a bowler, those cameos have helped RCB stretch totals past 200. From uncapped rookie to key cog in Faf du Plessis’ plans, Rasikh Salam’s upward curve makes him one to watch in the IPL 2025 playoffs and beyond.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
