The South African fast bowler is one of the most promising talents in world cricket right now. He made his debut for the Chennai Super Kings in 2018 and has risen to prominence ever since. In last year’s mega auction, he was bought by the Delhi Capitals.

As of now, he has not played an entire season, so he only has 25 wickets in the 14 matches he got to play. Despite this, fans expect him to do well in the 2023 IPL season, based on his current form.

The South African pacer is one of the most lethal bowlers in world cricket at the moment. From 2018 to 2021, he was a member of the Delhi Capitals squad and helped them make the IPL playoffs twice and reach the finals once.

In the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, Rabada was bought by Punjab Kings for a whopping 9.25 crores. He is known for his ability to bowl at high speeds and extract sharp movement off the pitch. He is currently just one wicket away from his 100th IPL wicket and has 99 wickets under his name in the 63 matches he played so far.

3. Umran Malik (Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The right-arm quick has been one of the most consistent performers in IPL history when it comes to speed. He has regularly bowled above 150 km/h speed in almost every match he played in his career. He has been with the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise for the last few seasons. In the IPL, Umran has picked up 24 wickets in 14 matches at an excellent average of 22.50. Fans are expecting him to perform well in the IPL 2023 season.

4. Yujvendra Chahal (Rajasthan Royals)

In addition to his impressive performances in the IPL, Yujvendra Chahal has also been one of the most reliable wicket-takers for the Men in Blue in limited-overs cricket. After making his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians, he later joined Royal Challengers Bangalore until the 2021 season. Rajasthan Royals bought him for 6.50 crores in last year’s IPL mega auction.

He has picked up 166 wickets in 131 IPL matches so far. In the last IPL season, he picked up 27 wickets in 17 matches and was also the purple cap winner in the 2022 IPL edition, leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Chahal is expected to be the leading wicket-taker for Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming IPL season.

5. Jofra Archer (Mumbai Indians)

The English fast bowler has been one of the most consistent performers in the IPL over the last few years. He was signed by the Rajasthan Royals for the IPL 2018 edition. Ever since then he has been a key member of the Rajasthan Royals squad and has played a vital role in their success. In last year’s mega auction Mumbai Indians grabbed the pacer for INR 8 crores. IPL 2022, however, saw him ruled out due to injury.

Archer is known for his ability to bowl toe crushers and bowl at a high speed. With 46 wickets under his name in 35 matches, his stats indicate he will perform well in the IPL 2023 edition.

6. Lockie Ferguson (Kolkata Knight Riders)

For the Kolkata Knight Riders, Lockie Ferguson made his IPL 2020 debut. The Kiwi paceman quickly earned a reputation for his ability to deliver toe-crushing yorkers at the death. Kolkata Knight Riders have shown massive faith in him as he will again feature in the starting line-up for them in IPL 2023.

Lockie Ferguson has the potential to be an excellent death-over specialist in the long run. In IPL 2023, he will be expected to reach the peak of his career.

7. Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans)

One of the most featured bowlers in world cricket, Rashid Khan is a regular member of the Afghanistan cricket team. He plays both the limited-overs and the long format of the game. As a player, he debuted for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2017 edition and remained with them until the 2021 edition. Last year, he was signed by the Lucknow Super Giants for a whopping INR 15 crores.

Apart from the IPL, he also features in various tournaments around the world. Rashid has also been a very consistent performer in the IPL, picking up 112 wickets in 92 featured matches. He is expected to be the leading wicket-taker for Gujarat Titans this year.
