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.

Piyush Chawla IPL profile: 192 wickets in 191 innings across 16 seasons, proving why he is one of the most durable and successful spinners in the league’s history. From his explosive debut with Punjab Kings in 2008 to his latest spell for Mumbai Indians in 2024, Chawla has bowled 3 850 balls, conceded 5 108 runs and never let the asking rate climb above 7.96 an over. His strike-rate of 20.05 balls per wicket underlines relentless pressure, while 15 three-wicket bursts and a best of 4/19 show match-turning ability. With 20 IPL teams changing hands around him, Chawla remained a constant, wearing five different jerseys yet always delivering the same sharp leg-breaks and clever googlies. When called upon, he has swung the long handle too, smashing 56 fours and 20 sixes in 624 runs at a strike-rate of 110, including a fearless unbeaten 24. Sixteen summers, 192 scalps, one enduring legacy: Piyush Chawla is the silent architect of many an IPL triumph.
