Rajat Bhatia IPL profile: 10 seasons, 71 wickets, 4 three-wicket hauls, best 4/15, economy 7.41, strike rate 23.04. From Delhi Capitals 2008 to Rising Pune Supergiant 2017, the medium-pacer played 91 bowling innings, conceded only 2020 runs off 1636 balls and kept the lid on scoring. With the bat he chipped in 342 runs at 120 strike rate, clobbering 24 fours and 13 sixes, proving why he was the go-to all-round option for KKR, RR and RPS.

Sunil Narine IPL profile: 14 seasons, 192 wickets, 1780 runs, one-man match engine Sunil Narine has become the definitive two-phase weapon in IPL history, piling up 192 wickets for Kolkata Knight Riders while striking at 22.63 balls per scalp and keeping the economy to a miserly 6.8. The off-spinner has tortured batters with 16 three-wicket bursts and one five-wicket demolition, landing telling blows in 187 bowling innings since 2012. Yet Narine’s story is not just about the ball. Promoted up the order, he has smashed 1780 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 166, peppering 189 fours and 116 sixes. His lone IPL hundred—an unbeaten 109—arrived off just 56 balls, proving he can flip a chase in the space of an over. Seven fifties and a highest score of 109 add layers to a batting record that few specialist bowlers can rival. From season one in 2012 to the 2025 campaign, Narine has worn only one jersey: KKR purple and gold. That loyalty has delivered both numbers and narrative—4345 balls of mystery spin, 1069 balls of audacious hitting, and countless moments when Eden Gardens rose to its feet for the ultimate IPL double threat.
