S Sandeep Warrier IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans' speed merchant has quietly built a four-season wicket tally that now stands at 8 scalps from just 10 bowling innings. The Kerala pacer’s most telling spell came in 2024 when he rattled the opposition with a three-wicket burst—his sole three-for in the league—showing he can turn a match in one fiery over. Operating at an impressive strike-rate of 21.00 balls per wicket, Warrier has delivered 168 balls and conceded 253 runs, translating to an economy of 9.04. Though he entered the IPL scene with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2019, his 2024 move to GT has refreshed his career graph. With no batting responsibilities—zero runs, zero balls faced—Warrier is a pure strike bowler, and every appearance is geared towards one outcome: wickets. Expect the right-armer to add to his numbers as Gujarat push for another title charge.

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.
