Swapnil K Singh IPL profile: 2024 Royal Challengers Bengaluru left-arm spinner who has quietly evolved into a match-turning asset across four seasons. His 2024 campaign showcased the sharpest version of his game—seven wickets in 14 bowling innings, including a best of 2-for, delivered at a tight economy of 8.93 and a decisive strike-rate of 23.14. Over 162 balls he conceded just 241 runs, showing the control that RCB craved in the middle overs. While his primary value lies with the ball, the all-rounder also flexed muscle with the bat—51 runs off 45 balls at a 113 strike-rate, peppered with three fours and three sixes. The left-hander’s cameos have already produced game-changing momentum shifts, most notably his 15-run blitz that remains his highest score. Having started with Punjab Kings in 2016 and 2017, then turning out for Lucknow Super Giants in 2023, Swapnil’s 2024 move to RCB has completed his tour of three franchises—each stop sharpening the skills that today make him a genuine three-dimensional threat in fantasy and real-world XIs alike.

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.
