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.

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.
