The BCCI, the governing body of Indian cricket, organises the Indian Premier League, one of the top short-format competitions. IPL is a cricket competition that began on April 18, 2008, and features players worldwide. The idea that the game is exclusively for batsmen has changed throughout time. Cricket fans now watch the IPL more frequently, and every team knows how vital bowlers are. They will need elite bowlers and hitters to win the game. Some bowlers have recorded their best IPL stats in the league’s history. So, let’s examine some of the most excellent IPL bowling statistics in more detail:
- Alzarri Joseph (6 Wickets for 12)
The Mumbai Indians’ right-arm medium bowler now holds the top spot for the best IPL bowling figure. He played for the Mumbai Indians in 2019 and grabbed six wickets for 12 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 19th IPL match. He is a medium pacer from the West Indies. Alzarri Joseph was voted Man of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance as Mumbai Indians took on Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbai batted first and gave Hyderabad a target of 137 runs, but Hyderabad’s hitters could not handle Joseph, and the entire team was bowled out for just 96 runs.
