Shakib Al Hasan IPL Bowling Record: 63 wickets, 70 innings, 7.44 economy – the left-arm wizard who turned Eden Gardens into his fortress across nine seasons with Kolkata Knight Riders. From 2011 to 2021 Shakib sent down 1 484 balls, conceding only 1 839 runs, never letting the rate drift past 7.5 an over. Twice he sliced through line-ups to claim three-wicket hauls, and his strike-rate of 23.56 balls per scalp made him the silent killer in the middle overs. While his 793 runs at a brisk 124 strike-rate—featuring 73 fours and 21 sixes—show he can swing the bat, it is the 63 scalps that headline his IPL legacy.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
