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.

Pawan Negi IPL 2019 summary: The left-arm spinner-turned-explosive lower-order hitter has quietly built an eight-season bank of impact performances. Across 42 bowling innings for Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Negi has snapped up 34 wickets at a strike-rate of 21.06 balls per scalp and a frugal economy of 7.87. Twice he has broken the back of an innings with three-wicket bursts, including a best of four for. With the bat, Negi has muscled 365 runs from 289 balls, striking at 126 and clearing the ropes 16 times while threading 27 boundaries. His fearless cameo high of 36 has repeatedly swung momentum. From 2012 to 2019 the all-rounder has been a trusted utility asset, turning games with ball and late-order sixes alike.
