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.
