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.

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.
