#1) Yuzvendra Chahal – 187 wickets (145 matches)
Yuzvendra Chahal, the wrist-spinning sensation, rose to prominence in the IPL through his astute bowling skills and match-winning performances. Representing the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the majority of his IPL tenure, Chahal became an indispensable part of the team’s bowling attack. Armed with a deceptive googly and a classical leg break, he bewildered batsmen with his variations and uncanny control over his craft.
Chahal’s best bowling figures of 4/25, achieved against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 2016 season, showcased his ability to turn the tide of a match. His knack for picking crucial wickets in the middle overs often proved vital in stifling the opposition’s momentum. Over the last two seasons, he has continued to represent Rajasthan Royals with him picking 48 wickets while being instrumental in the success and making him one the highest wicket takers in IPL history.
