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.

Daniel Vettori IPL profile: the left-arm spin maestro who strangled batters in 34 bowling innings across five seasons (2008-2012) for Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Operating at a frugal economy of 6.79, the Kiwi great conceded only 879 runs from 777 balls, pocketing 28 wickets at a strike-rate of 27.75. Twice he struck the decisive blow three times in an innings, while his career-best figures of 3 for 21 came in the colours of RCB. With the bat Vettori was a handy lower-order contributor, smashing 11 fours and 2 sixes in his 121 IPL runs, striking at 107 and peaking at an unbeaten 29. From Delhi to Bengaluru, Daniel Vettori’s control, guile and economy remained the gold standard for IPL spinners.
