Mujeeb Ur Rahman has quietly built a reputation as an IPL mystery-spinner who turns the ball both ways and, more importantly, turns games. Across five seasons from 2018 to 2025, the Afghan tweaker has featured for Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and now Mumbai Indians, collecting 20 wickets in 20 bowling innings. His strike rate of 22.30 balls per wicket underlines his knack for breaking partnerships, while an economy of 8.34 keeps batters honest even on the flattest decks. The 2025 campaign in the blue and gold of MI marks his latest stop, adding another chapter to a journey that began with Punjab in 2018. Mujeeb’s best day arrived when he ripped out 3/15 – his only three-wicket haul – showing that when the surface offers grip he can run through sides. Off the field, he is the rare bowler who can swing a long handle: 12 runs from 15 balls, including two crisp fours and a highest score of 10, prove he won’t just hang around. With 446 balls already sent down in the league’s most pressure-cooker stages, Mujeeb Ur Rahman remains the silent assassin every IPL captain wants in the middle overs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar IPL Story: 198 wickets, 15 seasons, one master of swing Across 15 IPL seasons, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has built a legacy of relentless accuracy and late swing. From the 2011 season with Pune Warriors to his 2025 stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the right-arm quick has bowled 4,222 balls and taken 198 wickets at a strike rate of 21.32—numbers that place him among the league’s all-time greats. His best days came in Sunrisers Hyderabad colours (2014-2024) where he twice hit the five-wicket mark and registered 14 three-wicket hauls. A career-best 5-fer headlines those efforts, while an economy of 7.69 runs per over shows he can choke batters even on true pitches. With the bat, Bhuvi has chipped in 320 runs off 351 balls, clearing the rope three times and finding 31 fours. While batting remains a bonus, his highest score of 27 underlines his ability to stay at the crease when needed. In 2025, the swing king brings 198 IPL wickets to the RCB dressing room, promising the same early breakthroughs and death-over control that have defined his decade-and-a-half journey.
