Trent Boult IPL bowling maestro: 143 wickets in 119 innings across 11 seasons, 2025 return to Mumbai Indians, swing and pace legend, 12 three-wicket hauls, best 4 for, economy 8.38, strike rate 18.76, 2683 balls of left-arm magic, 3747 runs conceded, powerplay wrecker, yorker king, death-over assassin, from Sunrisers 2015 to Royals 2022-24 and back to MI, Boult has turned opening spells into highlights reels and blue-chip wickets into match-defining moments; with the bat he’s chipped in 85 runs at a 104 strike rate, 3 sixes and 5 fours, highest 17, but it’s the 143 scalps that headline every auction room chant and fantasy team pick—Trent Boult, IPL’s perennial new-ball nightmare.

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.
