🏏 Pragyan Ojha vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar - IPL Careers Overview

Pragyan Ojha’s eight-season IPL journey is the story of a left-arm spinner who turned the ball, and the record books, in his favour. From 2008 to 2015 the man from Hyderabad captured 89 wickets off 1,898 balls bowled, never needing more than 21.33 deliveries to strike. Five times he wiped out three batters in a single spell, and although he never claimed a five-for, his economy of 7.39 across 90 innings underlined relentless control even on flat Indian tracks. Ojha began life in the league with Sunrisers Hyderabad, spending three seasons where he learnt the art of bowling in the PowerPlay and the middle overs alike. The move to Mumbai Indians in 2012 proved transformative: he became a key cog in the MI wheel, winning three titles between 2013-2015 and finishing his IPL career in the blue-and-gold. With the bat Ojha was used sparingly—19 innings, 45 balls, 16 runs—but the story is clearly written in the wickets column. Ninety outings, 89 victims, a best of three for, and a strike rate that bowlers brag about: Pragyan Ojha’s legacy is that of a match-winning spinner who spun Mumbai Indians to glory.


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.
