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.

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.
