Ryan Harris IPL story: in five electrifying seasons (2009-2013) the Australian seamer gave Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad the kind of late-overs menace every franchise craves. Armed with a skiddy bouncer and pinpoint yorker, Harris stormed to 45 wickets across 37 innings, striking every 18.49 balls while keeping the lid on at 7.55 runs an over. He breached the three-wicket mark six times, with a career-best 4 for 17 that once flipped a match on its head. Whenever the captain tossed him the ball, Harris delivered – 832 balls of relentless pressure that cost only 1,047 runs, a ledger that reads like a death-over masterclass. With the bat he was a handy lower-order cameo, smashing 117 runs at a strike rate of 104, including six fours and three sixes, his highest an unbeaten 17 that sealed a tight chase. From Hyderabad’s foundation year in 2009 to Punjab’s 2013 campaign, Ryan Harris remained the silent assassin who turned games in a heartbeat.

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.
