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.

Kagiso Rabada IPL 2025: 119 wickets, 15.98 strike-rate, 11 three-fors – Gujarat Titans’ pace spearhead South African speedster Kagiso Rabada has become the heartbeat of Gujarat Titans’ attack after eight electric IPL seasons. Across 84 bowling innings the right-armer has blasted 119 wickets, conceding 2,732 runs off 1,902 balls while striking at a razor-sharp 15.98. His economy of 8.62 keeps batters honest in the death overs, and his 11 three-wicket bursts underline his knack for turning matches. Rabada’s peak IPL haul is 4 for 21, and his figures of 3 for 30-or-less have become a reassuring sight for fantasy owners and Titans fans alike. Since debuting with Delhi Capitals in 2017, he spent four seasons in the capital before a three-year stint with Punjab Kings, and now brings his experience to the Titans dressing room in IPL 2025. Though primarily a bowler, Rabada has chipped in with 215 runs at a strike-rate of 106, peppering 16 fours and 9 sixes over 30 innings. His unbeaten 44 remains his high-water mark with the bat. With 119 scalps already in the bag, Rabada is closing in on the IPL’s elite wicket-takers list, and another purple patch in 2025 could push him into the all-time top five.
