Best Economy Rate in IPL History
The most difficult thing in T20 cricket is bowling maiden over and restricting the explosive run rate flow. In a format when a batsman is always ready to go after the bowler, bowling the dot ball is like hitting the gold. And bowling maiden overs almost every match is no less than a five-wicket haul or slapping a century against the opposition.
A good economy rate not only gives the team an opportunity to bounce back during the IPL matches but also breaks the run flow frustrating the batsman to lose his wicket. Over the years many bowlers were able to maintain good economy rates in IPL, but do you know who are the top 10 bowlers with the best economy rates in the IPL. Let’s unfurl it.
