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.

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.
