#2) Dwayne Bravo – 183 wickets (161 matches)
Dwayne Bravo, the dynamic West Indian all-rounder, has been a powerhouse performer in the IPL. Representing the Chennai Super Kings, Bravo’s all-round skills, especially his death-overs bowling, made him an integral part of the team’s setup.
Bravo’s best IPL bowling figures of 4/42, achieved against the Kings XI Punjab in the 2012 season, highlighted his ability to deliver under pressure. His clever variations and mastery of slower deliveries made him a nightmare for batsmen in the final overs, often restricting the opposition to manageable totals.
Beyond his bowling exploits, Bravo’s aggressive batting down the order and his acrobatic fielding further cemented his status as one of the IPL’s most impactful players. His electric presence on the field and his ‘Champion’ dance after taking wickets added to the entertainment quotient of the tournament.
