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.

Farveez Maharoof IPL profile: 27 wickets in 3 seasons, Delhi Capitals 2008-2010. The Sri Lankan all-rounder’s right-arm medium pace proved decisive for Delhi, firing 420 balls and conceding only 520 runs at an economy of 7.43 and a strike-rate of 15.56. His best burst came with 3-19, part of a solitary three-wicket haul that underlined his knack for breaking partnerships. When called upon to bat, Maharoof struck fear with a 143 strike-rate, scoring 177 runs from 123 balls including 12 fours and 9 sixes, peaking at 39*. Across 20 bowling innings and 14 batting innings, he gave Delhi a flexible match-winner who could flip games with either skill—making Maharoof one of the most quietly effective performers of the early IPL era.
