David Wiese IPL profile: the Namibia all-rounder who turns games with both bat and ball. In 15 bowling innings across three seasons (2015, 2016, 2023) with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders, Wiese has snapped 16 wickets at a strike-rate of 18.5 balls per scalp, including a best of 4/33. Operating at an economy of 8.92, he has kept hitters honest for 296 deliveries while conceding 440 runs. When the stage flips, Wiese’s 148 runs off 101 balls showcase a fearless 146 strike-rate—punctuated by 12 fours and 7 sixes—with a top score of 47. Eleven batting innings have seen him finish unbeaten on multiple occasions, underlining his finishing skills. From 2015 to 2023, David Wiese remains one of IPL’s most reliable utility players, capable of shifting momentum with either discipline.

Sunil Narine IPL profile: 14 seasons, 192 wickets, 1780 runs, one-man match engine Sunil Narine has become the definitive two-phase weapon in IPL history, piling up 192 wickets for Kolkata Knight Riders while striking at 22.63 balls per scalp and keeping the economy to a miserly 6.8. The off-spinner has tortured batters with 16 three-wicket bursts and one five-wicket demolition, landing telling blows in 187 bowling innings since 2012. Yet Narine’s story is not just about the ball. Promoted up the order, he has smashed 1780 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 166, peppering 189 fours and 116 sixes. His lone IPL hundred—an unbeaten 109—arrived off just 56 balls, proving he can flip a chase in the space of an over. Seven fifties and a highest score of 109 add layers to a batting record that few specialist bowlers can rival. From season one in 2012 to the 2025 campaign, Narine has worn only one jersey: KKR purple and gold. That loyalty has delivered both numbers and narrative—4345 balls of mystery spin, 1069 balls of audacious hitting, and countless moments when Eden Gardens rose to its feet for the ultimate IPL double threat.
