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.

Jasprit Bumrah has been the heartbeat of Mumbai Indians’ attack for twelve straight IPL seasons, and the numbers tell a story few fast bowlers can match. Across 145 bowling innings he has rattled 183 wickets—translating to a scalp every 18.23 balls—and conceded only 7.25 runs an over despite bowling mostly at the death. His 23 three-wicket bursts and two five-fors underline a rare ability to turn games in a single spell, while his career-best 5 for is a reminder that even the most daring finishers think twice before taking him on. With 3,337 balls sent down and only 4,031 runs leaked, Bumrah’s economy is textbook for T20 mayhem, yet his strike rate remains elite. The 2025 season will mark his thirteenth campaign in MI blue, making him one of the longest-tenured one-franchise warriors in IPL history. While his batting remains a footnote—68 runs from 79 balls with five fours and a solitary six—every run he scores is greeted like a bonus track at a sold-out concert. From 2013 to 2025, Bumrah has grown from rookie yorker prodigy to global pace spearhead, all without swapping jerseys. For fantasy managers, opposition strategists, and die-hard MI fans alike, the message is clear: when Bumrah steams in, scoreboards freeze and scorecards fill up—one precision yorker at a time.
