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.

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.
