Ashish Nehra IPL career: 106 wickets in 88 innings, 14 three-wicket bursts, best 4 for 10, economy 7.85, strike-rate 18. Overs nine seasons from 2008 to 2017, the left-arm quick turned powerplay destroyer for Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Pune Warriors, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 2015-16 he spearheaded CSK and SRH attacks, returning 24 wickets in 17 games. His 1908 balls cost only 2495 runs, a testament to discipline on Indian decks. With the bat Nehra was never the headline, yet 41 runs at 66 strike-rate and three fours plus one towering six show he could swing if needed. Highest score 22 off 14, 17 innings, no fifty but plenty of sting in the tail.

Daniel Christian IPL profile: explosive finisher & wily seamer across six seasons Australian all-rounder Daniel Christian brought late-order fireworks and clever medium-pace to the IPL from 2011 through 2021, suiting up for five franchises—Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Rising Pune Supergiant and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 41 batting innings he cracked 460 runs at a strike-rate of 115, clearing the ropes 19 times and finding the boundary 23 times; his highest score of 39 underlined his reputation as a designated six-hitter in crunch overs. With the ball Christian was even more influential. Operating in 49 bowling innings he snapped 38 wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 23.24 balls per scalp, never conceding more than two wickets in an innings but consistently choking runs at an economy of 8.1. His 883 deliveries produced only 1,192 runs, proving he could bowl the tough overs without bleeding boundaries. After debuting with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2011-12, Christian returned to RCB in 2013, resurfaced with Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017, wore Delhi Capitals colours in 2018 and closed his IPL journey with RCB again in 2021. That longevity across six seasons highlights franchises’ enduring faith in his dual-value package: 19 maximums with the bat and 38 wickets with the ball make Daniel Christian one of the league’s most bankable utility players of the last decade.
