Trent Boult IPL bowling maestro: 143 wickets in 119 innings across 11 seasons, 2025 return to Mumbai Indians, swing and pace legend, 12 three-wicket hauls, best 4 for, economy 8.38, strike rate 18.76, 2683 balls of left-arm magic, 3747 runs conceded, powerplay wrecker, yorker king, death-over assassin, from Sunrisers 2015 to Royals 2022-24 and back to MI, Boult has turned opening spells into highlights reels and blue-chip wickets into match-defining moments; with the bat he’s chipped in 85 runs at a 104 strike rate, 3 sixes and 5 fours, highest 17, but it’s the 143 scalps that headline every auction room chant and fantasy team pick—Trent Boult, IPL’s perennial new-ball nightmare.

Virat Kohli is the undisputed batting king of the Indian Premier League, a Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifer who has turned loyalty into legend across 18 electrifying seasons from 2008 to 2025. With 8,661 runs off 6,519 balls, Kohli is the league’s highest-ever run-getter, firing at a strike rate of 132 and painting every corner of every ground with 771 fours and 291 towering sixes. His 63 half-centuries and 8 hundreds—topped by a blistering 113*—tell the story of a man who converts starts into statements, walking in 259 innings and delivering a match-defining fifty or hundred in roughly one out of every four trips to the crease. While he has rolled his arm over occasionally, claiming four wickets from 26 bowling innings, it is with the bat that Kohli has authored the IPL’s most enduring chronicle, forever clad in the red and gold of RCB.
