In a T20 match, batsmen often get the lion’s share of the attention. However, every now and then, we see bowlers deliver spells that completely change the game.
Along with the strike rate of batsmen, the economy of bowlers is the single most important statistic that teams consider. It’s uncommon to find bowlers who can both restrict runs and pick wickets.
As a result, in T20 cricket, economical bowlers are like gold. Here are 5 Indian bowlers with lowest economy rate in IPL history :
1. Anil Kumble – 6.57
India has produced some of the best spinners in history and Anil Kumble is one of them. Kumble has appeared in 42 IPL matches for the RCB franchise and has 45 wickets to his name. His personal best bowling performance is 5 wickets for 5 runs, which is still one of the best in T20 cricket. He has a bowling economy of 6.57 after allowing 1058 runs in 160.5 overs, which is the second best in history.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin – 6.91
Ashwin made his India debut thanks to his exploits for Chennai Super Kings, and he has been a consistent performer in the league for CSK, Kings XI Punjab, and Delhi Capitals. His current team, the Rajasthan Royals, would like to see him continue his good work in their colors.
3. Washington Sundar – 6.93
Sundar has had a number of successful appearances for the national team. He is a versatile all-rounder whose abilities make him an asset to any team. He has played 42 matches in the IPL since his debut in 2017 and has a consistent economy record of 6.93.
4. Harbhajan Singh – 7.07
Harbhajan Singh was a trump card for the Mumbai Indians during his long association with the team. Bhajji’s deception was a valuable asset for captain Rohit Sharma, who wisely employed it. In the Indian Premier League, he most recently played for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
5. Bhuvneshwar Kumar – 7.24
Bhuvneshwar was re-considered for the national team after his performances for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. He is a must-have for SRH because of his ability to bowl with utmost discipline in both the powerplay and death overs. Not to mention the fact that he has been the holder of two purple caps.
