Jofra Archer IPL Story: 59 wickets in 52 bowling innings, 20.64 strike rate, 7.89 economy – Rajasthan Royals’ turbo-charged pacer has been the league’s most feared speed merchant since debuting in 2018. Across five seasons Archer has sent down 1 218 balls, conceding only 1 602 runs while striking at better than a wicket every three overs. Seven three-wicket bursts highlight his ability to break partnerships at will, and with a top haul of 3 for he rarely leaves the opposition unscathed. While Archer’s primary role is with ball in hand, his late-order fireworks add hidden value: 262 runs from 178 balls, a strike-rate of 147, and 18 towering sixes—more maximums than fours—make him a genuine two-phase threat. His unbeaten 30 stands as the highest among cameos that have swung momentum in RR’s favour. After a brief 2023 stint with Mumbai Indians, Archer returned to Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, bringing back the pace and precision that once terrorised batsmen at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Expect more thunderbolts and quick runs as Archer continues to redefine the modern fast bowler’s role in the world’s biggest T20 league.

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.
