Ricky Bhui, the Delhi Capitals right-hander who re-emerged in IPL 2024 after a five-year gap, is still searching for his breakout knock in the league. Across three seasons—2018 and 2019 with Sunrisers Hyderabad and now 2024 with Delhi—Bhui has managed only 10 runs from 26 balls faced in four brief innings, with a highest score of 7 and a strike rate of 38.46. The numbers reveal a player who has yet to find rhythm at the highest level: no boundaries, no sixes, no fifties or centuries to show for his efforts. While his domestic record for Andhra is laden with runs, the IPL chapter remains unwritten for the 27-year-old. With Delhi Capitals investing another season in him, the 2025 edition could finally offer Bhui the platform to convert promise into performances and rewrite his IPL story.

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.
