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.

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.
