Amit Mishra IPL bowling record: 174 wickets in 162 innings over 16 seasons, 19.37 strike rate, 7.38 economy, 16 three-wicket hauls and one five-for – the veteran leg-spinner who spun Delhi, Hyderabad and now Lucknow to victories.

Pragyan Ojha’s eight-season IPL journey is the story of a left-arm spinner who turned the ball, and the record books, in his favour. From 2008 to 2015 the man from Hyderabad captured 89 wickets off 1,898 balls bowled, never needing more than 21.33 deliveries to strike. Five times he wiped out three batters in a single spell, and although he never claimed a five-for, his economy of 7.39 across 90 innings underlined relentless control even on flat Indian tracks. Ojha began life in the league with Sunrisers Hyderabad, spending three seasons where he learnt the art of bowling in the PowerPlay and the middle overs alike. The move to Mumbai Indians in 2012 proved transformative: he became a key cog in the MI wheel, winning three titles between 2013-2015 and finishing his IPL career in the blue-and-gold. With the bat Ojha was used sparingly—19 innings, 45 balls, 16 runs—but the story is clearly written in the wickets column. Ninety outings, 89 victims, a best of three for, and a strike rate that bowlers brag about: Pragyan Ojha’s legacy is that of a match-winning spinner who spun Mumbai Indians to glory.
