Mitchell Starc IPL profile: 65 wickets in 50 bowling innings at a strike-rate of 16.29, one of the fastest among left-arm quicks in league history. The Australian speedster has represented Delhi Capitals (2025), Kolkata Knight Riders (2024) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (2014 & 2015), and his 11 IPL seasons span four actual campaigns. Starc’s 2024 return with KKR produced a five-wicket haul—his solitary five-for in the tournament—and nine three-wicket bursts that underline his love for breakthroughs. Over 176.3 overs (1,059 balls) he conceded 1,526 runs at an economy of 8.65, numbers that reveal both wicket-taking venom and the price modern power-hitters pay when targeting him. With the bat, Starc is a lower-order cameo artist: 111 runs from 119 balls, 11 fours, and a highest score of 29 across 21 innings. While his primary currency remains wickets, those quick runs have often shifted momentum in tight chases. From 2015’s raw pace promise to 2025’s experienced spearhead, Mitchell Starc’s IPL journey is a story of speed, swing, and the enduring value of left-arm thunderbolts on Indian pitches.

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.
