Mohit Sharma has been one of the IPL’s canniest pace operators for over a decade, and the numbers behind his 134-wicket haul tell a tale of sustained mastery. Operating in 119 bowling innings across 11 seasons, the Haryana seamer has attacked the stumps at a rapid strike-rate of 17.93 balls per wicket, while keeping a tight leash on batters with an economy of 8.77. His standout show includes 15 three-wicket bursts and one five-for, the best being a 5-wicket demolition job that underlined his knack for breaking partnerships at will. From his breakout year with Chennai Super Kings in 2013 to his recent return to Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025, Mohit’s journey maps the evolution of a bowler who adapts and endures. After CSK, he spun his web for Kings XI Punjab, returned to CSK, then donned the Delhi jersey in 2020 before a two-season revival at Gujarat Titans in 2023-24. Each shift brought new challenges; each challenge saw him refine the back-of-the-length cutters and knuckle balls that once made him MS Dhoni’s go-to Powerplay enforcer. With 2,403 balls and 3,513 runs conceded, his ledger shows both volume and value, proving that containment and strike power can indeed coexist. While his batting remains a cameo option—125 runs at a strike-rate of 91—his primary currency is wickets, and he’s spent 11 seasons cashing in. As IPL 2025 dawns in Delhi colours once again, expect Mohit Sharma to keep the middle overs quiet and the scoreboard moving in the only way he knows: one wicket at a time.

Ashish Nehra IPL career: 106 wickets in 88 innings, 14 three-wicket bursts, best 4 for 10, economy 7.85, strike-rate 18. Overs nine seasons from 2008 to 2017, the left-arm quick turned powerplay destroyer for Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Pune Warriors, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 2015-16 he spearheaded CSK and SRH attacks, returning 24 wickets in 17 games. His 1908 balls cost only 2495 runs, a testament to discipline on Indian decks. With the bat Nehra was never the headline, yet 41 runs at 66 strike-rate and three fours plus one towering six show he could swing if needed. Highest score 22 off 14, 17 innings, no fifty but plenty of sting in the tail.
