Daniel Christian IPL profile: explosive finisher & wily seamer across six seasons Australian all-rounder Daniel Christian brought late-order fireworks and clever medium-pace to the IPL from 2011 through 2021, suiting up for five franchises—Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Rising Pune Supergiant and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 41 batting innings he cracked 460 runs at a strike-rate of 115, clearing the ropes 19 times and finding the boundary 23 times; his highest score of 39 underlined his reputation as a designated six-hitter in crunch overs. With the ball Christian was even more influential. Operating in 49 bowling innings he snapped 38 wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 23.24 balls per scalp, never conceding more than two wickets in an innings but consistently choking runs at an economy of 8.1. His 883 deliveries produced only 1,192 runs, proving he could bowl the tough overs without bleeding boundaries. After debuting with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2011-12, Christian returned to RCB in 2013, resurfaced with Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017, wore Delhi Capitals colours in 2018 and closed his IPL journey with RCB again in 2021. That longevity across six seasons highlights franchises’ enduring faith in his dual-value package: 19 maximums with the bat and 38 wickets with the ball make Daniel Christian one of the league’s most bankable utility players of the last decade.

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.
