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.

Ben Hilfenhaus IPL Story: 22 wickets in 372 balls for Chennai Super Kings. The Australian speed merchant spent two electrifying seasons with CSK (2012 & 2014), firing in 17 bowling innings, conceding only 479 runs at an economy of 7.73. His strike-rate of 16.91 balls per wicket underlined relentless pressure, while a best of 3 for 23 showcased his ability to dismantle top orders in crunch games. Zero batting entries, pure bowling focus—Hilfenhaus was CSK’s silent assassin with the white ball.
