Shakib Al Hasan IPL Bowling Record: 63 wickets, 70 innings, 7.44 economy – the left-arm wizard who turned Eden Gardens into his fortress across nine seasons with Kolkata Knight Riders. From 2011 to 2021 Shakib sent down 1 484 balls, conceding only 1 839 runs, never letting the rate drift past 7.5 an over. Twice he sliced through line-ups to claim three-wicket hauls, and his strike-rate of 23.56 balls per scalp made him the silent killer in the middle overs. While his 793 runs at a brisk 124 strike-rate—featuring 73 fours and 21 sixes—show he can swing the bat, it is the 63 scalps that headline his IPL legacy.

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.
