K H Pandya

K H Pandya, one of IPL’s most versatile all-rounders, has been a match-winner for every franchise he has represented. Renowned for his fearless batting in the middle order and deceptive pace variations, Pandya repeatedly turns games with explosive cameos and clutch overs. His ability to finish tight chases and break partnerships with the ball has made him a sought-after asset in IPL auctions. Whether captaining or playing as impact player, he brings fearless intent, sharp tactical acumen and electric energy to the field. Pandya’s signature helicopter shots, pinpoint yorkers and safe hands at boundary have created countless highlight reels across seasons. Fans admire his calm under pressure, earning him the tag of ultimate IPL finisher.

K H Pandya has turned into one of the most bankable two-way match-winners in IPL history, and the 2025 season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru is only extending that reputation. Across 114 innings with the bat he has piled on 1,756 runs at a strike-rate of 132, peppering boundaries with 153 fours and 65 towering sixes; his fearless 86 against Sunrisers remains the highest score of his career. While he has not yet reached three figures, those two half-centuries have often arrived when RCB needed a late surge. With ball in hand Pandya is equally influential. In 132 bowling innings he has snapped 93 wickets, including nine three-wicket bursts and a best of 4/21, all while keeping the economy under 7.5. Whether opening the attack or nailing yorkers at the death, his 25.78 strike-rate makes him a captain’s go-to in crunch overs. Having started with Mumbai Indians in 2016 and now donning the RCB red after three productive seasons at Lucknow Super Giants, Pandya’s decade-long journey shows a player who keeps adding new gears to his game—fearless hitter, reliable wicket-taker, and ultimate team-first asset.
