Vijaykumar Vyshak IPL 2025: 17 wickets in 16 matches, best 3/19, fastest ball every 19.59 deliveries, and a 10.38 economy that makes death overs his playground. After two seasons with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Karnataka seamer switched to Punjab Kings and instantly became the pace spearhead. He has bowled 333 balls, conceded 576 runs and struck 17 times, including one three-wicket burst that underlines his knack for breaking partnerships. With the bat he remains a handy lower-order striker—14 runs from 12 balls with a solitary six and a strike-rate of 116—yet it is his speed and control that headline the Vyshak story. Three seasons, two franchises, one rising star.

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.
