Ben Stokes IPL profile 2023: England’s talisman has powered 935 runs in 43 innings at a strike-rate of 133, peppering 81 fours and 32 sixes while posting two centuries and two fifties. His career-best 107 came at a blistering tempo, underlining the match-winning impact that Chennai Super Kings paid for. Across six seasons—Rajasthan Royals (2018-21), Rising Pune Supergiant (2017) and now CSK—the left-hander has faced 698 balls and cleared ropes or found gaps almost every six deliveries. With the ball Stokes complements the carnage, nipping 28 wickets in 38 innings at an economy of 8.64 and a strike-rate of 24.61, including three three-wicket bursts. From clutch knocks to death-over strikes, Stokes remains the premier all-round force in IPL fantasy and betting circles.

Sandeep Sharma IPL 2025: Swing master headlines Rajasthan Royals attack with 146 wickets across 13 seasons Since his debut in 2013, Sandeep Sharma has quietly built one of the most consistent new-ball résumés in IPL history. Operating for Rajasthan Royals since 2023 (after earlier stints with Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad), the right-arm seamer has sent down 3,041 deliveries and walked away with 146 wickets—an impressive strike rate of 20.83 balls per wicket. His economy sits at a tight 8.03 runs per over, rare restraint in the slam-bang format. Eleven three-wicket hauls and a solitary five-for underline his ability to break open an innings, while his best figures of 5/25 remain a testament to his knack for late-swing devastation. Sandeep’s longevity—13 campaigns and counting—makes him one of only a handful of bowlers to appear in every IPL season since 2013, and the only one to spend five-plus seasons each with both Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad before anchoring the Royals attack.
