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.

Chris Gayle IPL story: 13 seasons, 4 965 runs, 357 sixes and one unforgettable 175. The self-styled “Universe Boss” walked into IPL 2009 with Kolkata Knight Riders, but it was at Royal Challengers Bengaluru from 2011-2017 that he became a global T20 icon—belting 404 fours and 357 sixes overall at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 148. In 141 innings he cleared the rope once every 9.3 balls and produced 31 half-centuries plus six blistering hundreds, the most famous being his record 175* off 66 balls at the Chinnaswamy in 2013. After his Bengaluru fireworks, Gayle took his power game to Punjab Kings, turning up in orange from 2018 to 2021 and continuing to pepper boundaries with the same ruthless ease. While he rolled his arm over occasionally—18 wickets in 38 bowling innings—his narrative is written in soaring sixes and match-winning hundreds that re-defined T20 batting forever.
