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.

Hardik Pandya IPL career story: 11 seasons, 2749 runs at a 146 strike-rate, 148 sixes, 10 half-centuries Hardik Pandya has been one of the Indian Premier League’s most explosive batting all-rounders since his 2015 debut with Mumbai Indians. Across 140 innings he has unleashed 2,749 runs off just 1,871 balls, translating to a fearsome strike-rate of 146—the sort of number that turns middle-overs into match-winning passages. He has cleared the ropes 148 times and found the boundary another 207 times, underlining why captains post straight long-on and deep mid-wicket for him from ball one. His highest score of 91 and ten half-centuries show he can both finish innings and anchor them when required. While Pandya’s primary currency is runs, he has also delivered 78 wickets in 107 bowling innings, including one five-for and five three-wicket bursts. Operating at an economy of 9.18 and a strike-rate of 20.87, he often bowls the difficult overs at the death, trusting his cutters and the slower ball. Having represented Mumbai Indians for eight of his eleven campaigns and captained Gujarat Titans to the 2022 title, Pandya’s dual-skill value has made him a marquee name every mega auction.
