Basil Thampi IPL story: the Kerala speedster has bowled 521 balls across five seasons, striking 22 times at a brisk 23.68 balls per wicket. He twice burst through the three-wicket barrier—his best haul—while keeping batters on edge with an economy nudging 9.74 runs an over. Drafted by Gujarat Lions in 2017, Thampi became a Sunrisers Hyderabad mainstay for the next three campaigns before the 2022 move to Mumbai Indians. With the bat he remains a handy lower-order cameo, clearing the rope once and finding the boundary another time in 32 career runs. In a league where yorkers and slower balls decide fortunes, Thampi’s 22 IPL wickets and two 3-fers mark him as the impact quick ready to turn a game in one fiery spell.

Dwayne Bravo IPL journey: 183 wickets in 158 innings, 17.05 balls per scalp, 8.38 economy—numbers that make him one of the most feared death-overs specialists in tournament history. The Trinidadian all-rounder turned up for Chennai Super Kings in 9 of his 14 seasons, lifting the trophy four times in yellow. His 4-14 best figures and 16 three-wicket bursts underline relentless pressure, while 3,120 balls of control across 158 bowling innings tell the story of a master tactician. With the bat he still chipped in 1,560 runs at a 129 strike-rate, including 120 fours and 66 sixes, often flipping games in the final overs. From 2008 to 2022, Bravo’s name became synonymous with last-over magic and celebratory dance moves, making the “Champion” bowler an IPL legend.
