Aiden Markram IPL profile: 1 440 runs off 1 066 balls, 135 strike-rate, 68 highest score, 10 fifties, 111 fours, 57 sixes in 55 innings for Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings across five seasons 2021-2025. The South African right-hander averages a boundary every third legal delivery and clears the rope once every 18 balls, making him one of the most explosive top-order options in the league. While he has sent down 187 balls and picked up six wickets at an economy of 8.79, batting remains his calling card—no centuries yet but a relentless stream of half-century cameos that swing matches.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar IPL Story: 198 wickets, 15 seasons, one master of swing Across 15 IPL seasons, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has built a legacy of relentless accuracy and late swing. From the 2011 season with Pune Warriors to his 2025 stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the right-arm quick has bowled 4,222 balls and taken 198 wickets at a strike rate of 21.32—numbers that place him among the league’s all-time greats. His best days came in Sunrisers Hyderabad colours (2014-2024) where he twice hit the five-wicket mark and registered 14 three-wicket hauls. A career-best 5-fer headlines those efforts, while an economy of 7.69 runs per over shows he can choke batters even on true pitches. With the bat, Bhuvi has chipped in 320 runs off 351 balls, clearing the rope three times and finding 31 fours. While batting remains a bonus, his highest score of 27 underlines his ability to stay at the crease when needed. In 2025, the swing king brings 198 IPL wickets to the RCB dressing room, promising the same early breakthroughs and death-over control that have defined his decade-and-a-half journey.
