There is a lot of discussion about the stormy performance of the batsmen in the Indian Premier League. However, bowlers also sometimes perform such feats that their names get recorded in the record books. The record for taking the most wickets in a season is still in the name of Harshal Patel of Royal Challengers Bangalore, who created a new history by taking 32 wickets in the 2021 season. Let us know, who are the top-5 bowlers who have taken the most wickets in a season in IPL?
Harshal Patel – 32 wickets (RCB, 2021)
The 2021 IPL became the golden chapter of Harshal Patel’s career. He took 32 wickets in 15 matches and equaled Lasith Malinga’s record. His slower balls in the death overs became a headache for the batsmen. His best figure of 5/27 was in the same season. An average of 14.34 and strike rate of 10.56 made him the most effective bowler of the season.
Dwayne Bravo – 32 wickets (CSK, 2013)
CSK superstar Dwayne Bravo showed the world by taking 32 wickets in 2013 that he is not only a good finisher but also a match-winning bowler. Bravo, who took wickets at an average of 15.53 in 18 matches, made a big contribution in taking CSK to the final. His best performance of 4/42 is still remembered.
Kagiso Rabada – 30 wickets (DC, 2020)
Delhi Capitals fast bowler Rabada took 30 wickets in the 2020 season played in UAE. His speed and accurate yorkers took the team to the final for the first time. Best figures of 4/24 and strike rate of 13.13 were proof of his dangerous form.
Lasith Malinga – 28 wickets (MI, 2011)
The entry of “Yorker King” Malinga changed the game in the history of IPL. In 2011, he won many matches for Mumbai Indians by taking 28 wickets. The best figure of 5/13 is still considered one of the most lethal spells in IPL history. His economy rate was only 5.95, which is extraordinary in T20.
James Faulkner – 28 wickets (RR, 2013)
Australian all-rounder James Faulkner is at number 5 in this list. He took 28 wickets while playing for Rajasthan Royals. His two five-wicket hauls in 2013 (5/16 and 5/20) made him the ‘silent assassin’ of that season.
