While some of the transfers have helped teams a great deal, others have left people bewildered. Here are some of the most surprising trades in IPL history that caught the cricketing world off guard.</span></p><p><strong><span id="input-sentence~1">Ravichandran Ashwin to Delhi Capitals</span></strong></p><p><span id="input-sentence~1">Ravichandran Ashwin was one of the most important players for Kings XI Punjab during his captaincy tenure. His experience and leadership played a central role in determining the performances of the team. However, before the 2020 season, Punjab chose to sell him to Delhi Capitals for Jagadeesha Suchith and another amount of money.</span><span id="input-sentence~2"> Fans were left shocked by the decision because Ashwin was Punjab's most consistent player, and losing him created a gap in the team.</span></p><p><strong><span id="input-sentence~2">Shikhar Dhawan's Return to Delhi Capitals</span></strong></p><p><span id="input-sentence~2">Shikhar Dhawan began his IPL career with Delhi but became an IPL legend in his years with Sunrisers Hyderabad.</span><span id="input-sentence~3"> His opener's consistency and his capacity to anchor innings made him one of the most valuable players in the league. In the run-up to the 2019 season, Sunrisers Hyderabad surprised everyone by trading Dhawan to Delhi Capitals in exchange for three players: Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem, and Abhishek Sharma.</span><span id="input-sentence~4"> Most people felt that Hyderabad didn't receive fair return for a player of the quality of Dhawan.</span></p><p><strong><span id="input-sentence~4">Ajinkya Rahane to Delhi Capitals</span></strong></p><p><span id="input-sentence~4">Ajinkya Rahane was the face of the Rajasthan Royals for several years and even captained the side. Known for his elegant stroke play and dependable batting, Rahane was an integral part of the Royals' setup.</span><span id="input-sentence~5"> But ahead of the 2020 season, he was traded to Delhi Capitals, a move that surprised many. Rajasthan let go of one of their most experienced batsmen, and Rahane struggled to find a permanent spot in Delhi’s playing XI.</span></p><p>ALSO SEE: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/the-dark-side-of-ipl-scandals-that-shocked-the-cricket-world/">The Dark Side of IPL: Scandals That Shocked the Cricket World</a></p><p><strong><span id="input-sentence~5">Trent Boult to the Mumbai Indians</span></strong></p><p><span id="input-sentence~5">Trent Boult was Delhi Capitals' match-winner due to his knack of swinging the new ball and picking wickets early.</span><span id="input-sentence~6"> Delhi shocked all by trading Boult to Mumbai Indians at the start of the 2020 season. Delhi got it wrong as Boult was a key player for Mumbai in their title-winning season that season, when he formed an explosive new-ball combination with Jasprit Bumrah.</span></p><p><strong><span id="input-sentence~7">Quinton de Kock to the Mumbai Indians</span></strong></p><p><span id="input-sentence~7"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinton_de_Kock">Quinton de Kock</a>'s transfer from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Mumbai Indians prior to the 2019 season was another headline-grabber. De Kock had been a consistent performer for RCB, but they opted to release him for an unspecified amount of money.</span><span id="input-sentence~8"> Mumbai gained hugely from the transfer as the South African wicket-keeper batsman was instrumental in helping them win IPL titles in 2019 and 2020.</span></p><p><strong><span id="input-sentence~8">Harshal Patel and Daniel Sams to Royal Challengers Bangalore</span></strong></p><p><span id="input-sentence~8">Delhi Capitals did it once more with an unexpected move when they traded Daniel Sams and Harshal Patel to Royal Challengers Bangalore before the 2021 season.</span><span id="input-sentence~9"> Though Sams made little difference, Harshal Patel was a game-changer. He went on to claim the Purple Cap for the most wickets in the season and was one of the greatest trade pickups in the history of IPL.</span></p><p>ALSO SEE: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/highest-paid-ipl-players-who-never-played-a-single-match/">Highest-Paid IPL Players Who Never Played a Single Match!</a></p><p><span id="input-sentence~9">The IPL's trading system has never been consistent, and it has resulted in moves that have left fans and analysts alike amazed.</span><span id="input-sentence~10"> While there are trades that turn out great for teams, others become mistakes that they would wish they had not made. As IPL franchises keep plotting and reshaping their teams, surprising trades will continue to be part of the league's always-dramatic story.</span></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[IPL 2025: Mitchell Starc Creates History With Speedy 200 T20 Wickets]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-mitchell-starc-creates-history-with-speedy-200-t20-wickets/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-mitchell-starc-creates-history-with-speedy-200-t20-wickets/</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 30 Mar 2025 19:27:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Australian left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc has announced himself in the early stages of the IPL 2025 as his first T20 fifer helped him to complete his 200 T20 wickets. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/03/Mitchell-Starc 200 T20 wickets.webp" width="1280" height="720" alt="Mitchell Starc 200 T20 wickets.webp"/><p>Australian left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc has announced himself in the early stages of the IPL 2025 as his first T20 fifer destroyed the fiery SunRisers Hyderabad batting line-up and helped <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi_Capitals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delhi Capitals</a> to record a strong win on Sunday afternoon.

In the final over, with South Africa needing 16 runs to win, <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/david-miller-321777">David Miller</a>, their most destructive batter, was on the crease. It was tense. And then there was the catch, the incredible grab by Suryakumar Yadav at the boundary, a moment that sealed India’s victory and their second T20 World Cup title, after 17 long years. </p><h3>Suryakumar Yadav on His Match-Winning Catch: “I Watch It Every Hour”</h3><p>In his words: How he feels about his game changing moment, Suryakumar Yadav opened up on.</p><blockquote><p>“I watch it every hour. I get a lot of chances to use my phone and I watch it a lot of times and I am very grateful.”</p></blockquote><p>This statement shows how much the significance of his catch is not only to him but to millions of Indian cricket fans who watched history being created.</p><p>Also See : <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/varanasi-fans-perform-aarti-and-pray-for-team-india-s-victory-in-champions-trophy-final/">Varanasi Fans Perform Aarti and Pray for Team India’s Victory in Champions Trophy Final</a></p><h3>The Game-Changing Catch</h3><p>The turning point moment occurred in the last over bowled by Hardik Pandya. David Miller, who has a reputation of winning games for his team, smashed a massive shot in the direction of long-off. For a brief moment, Indian hearts stopped beating. But then suddenly, Suryakumar Yadav judged the jump to perfection, caught the ball, and kept himself inside the boundary rope—giving India a dismissal that shattered the dreams of South Africa.</p><p>India went on to win the final seven runs, courtesy of exceptional death bowling by Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Pandya, but Suryakumar's catch was the standout moment that will be remembered.</p><h3>The Power of Fitness and Reflexes</h3><p>That one spectacular catch didn't come through luck-it was a product of intense fitness practice and quick reflexes. The speed, quickness, and accuracy of Suryakumar Yadav bespeak the superlative state of fitness which contemporary cricketers enjoy. From grueling exercise routines to specific field practice, players pump in lots of money into the fitness regimen just to achieve something like that on the field. </p><h3>Social Media Buzz and Fan Engagement</h3><p>In the digital age, sensational sporting moments don't remain on the pitch-they burst on the internet. Yadav's catch went viral the moment it happened, with millions of fans posting, debating, and rejoicing over it on social media. Such moments enable cricketers to establish their brand, grow fan base, and make the sport even more exciting for global viewers.</p><p>Also See : <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/varanasi-fans-perform-aarti-and-pray-for-team-india-s-victory-in-champions-trophy-final/">Varanasi Fans Perform Aarti and Pray for Team India’s Victory in Champions Trophy Final</a></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Best Opener is Back!
