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.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
