Shahbaz Nadeem IPL profile: left-arm orthodox spinner who quietly built a decade-long IPL story from 2011 to 2021. Across 11 seasons—eight with Delhi Capitals and three with Sunrisers Hyderabad—Nadeem sent down 1 415 balls, picking up 48 wickets at a strike rate of 29.48 and an economy of 7.56. His standout moment came in 2016 when he claimed 3 for 16 against Rising Pune Supergiant, the only three-wicket haul in his 70-inning IPL journey. Batting rarely, he managed 39 runs from 87 balls, but his value remained in strangling batters in the middle overs. With just one 3-wicket burst yet a steady record, Nadeem’s career is the tale of a frugal, reliable spinner who kept turning up for two franchises over 11 seasons.

Ashish Nehra IPL career: 106 wickets in 88 innings, 14 three-wicket bursts, best 4 for 10, economy 7.85, strike-rate 18. Overs nine seasons from 2008 to 2017, the left-arm quick turned powerplay destroyer for Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Pune Warriors, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 2015-16 he spearheaded CSK and SRH attacks, returning 24 wickets in 17 games. His 1908 balls cost only 2495 runs, a testament to discipline on Indian decks. With the bat Nehra was never the headline, yet 41 runs at 66 strike-rate and three fours plus one towering six show he could swing if needed. Highest score 22 off 14, 17 innings, no fifty but plenty of sting in the tail.
