Zeeshan Ansari announced his IPL arrival in 2025 with Sunrisers Hyderabad, turning heads as a wicket-taking spinner in a season dominated by batsmen. Across ten high-pressure bowling innings, the 23-year-old claimed six crucial scalps, including a memorable three-wicket burst that derailed a strong batting line-up. Operating at an economy nudging 9.84 on the batting-friendly tracks, he bowled 203 balls and conceded 333 runs while maintaining a sharp strike rate of 33.83. His solitary three-wicket haul underlined his ability to break partnerships at vital junctures—an attribute that quickly endeared him to the SRH think-tank. With no five-wicket haul yet, Ansari’s hunger for more match-defining spells is evident, and fantasy managers have already started tagging him as a differential pick for the 2026 season.
