Bipul Sharma’s seven-season IPL journey from 2010 to 2017 tells the tale of an adaptable cricketer who quietly tilted games Kings XI Punjab’s way before becoming a trusted utility piece for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Over 28 bowling innings he nipped out 17 wickets at a strike-rate of 25.06 balls per scalp, never once going for more than two wickets in an outing yet keeping the run-flow tight with an economy of 8.06. Those numbers reveal a bowler who specialised in breaking partnerships rather than running through sides. With the bat he proved a handy lower-order striker: 187 runs off 123 balls at a blazing strike-rate of 152, including 11 fours and 9 sixes. His unbeaten 35 remains the highest of his 17 innings, illustrating a knack for late-overs acceleration. Whether chipping in with the ball or clearing the ropes in the death overs, Bipul Sharma’s all-round cameos made him a low-profile but valuable asset across 35 IPL matches.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar IPL Story: 198 wickets, 15 seasons, one master of swing Across 15 IPL seasons, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has built a legacy of relentless accuracy and late swing. From the 2011 season with Pune Warriors to his 2025 stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the right-arm quick has bowled 4,222 balls and taken 198 wickets at a strike rate of 21.32—numbers that place him among the league’s all-time greats. His best days came in Sunrisers Hyderabad colours (2014-2024) where he twice hit the five-wicket mark and registered 14 three-wicket hauls. A career-best 5-fer headlines those efforts, while an economy of 7.69 runs per over shows he can choke batters even on true pitches. With the bat, Bhuvi has chipped in 320 runs off 351 balls, clearing the rope three times and finding 31 fours. While batting remains a bonus, his highest score of 27 underlines his ability to stay at the crease when needed. In 2025, the swing king brings 198 IPL wickets to the RCB dressing room, promising the same early breakthroughs and death-over control that have defined his decade-and-a-half journey.
