Best Bowlers in IPL!


After the stupendous success (rolling eyes) of the Best Batsman rankings, here are the best bowler rankings. These rankings take into consideration the number of wickets taken, the economy rate and the average of the bowlers.

Sohail Tanveer's not only the top wicket taker in the tournament, he also has the best economy rate. It is no surprise thus, that he has a comfortable lead at the top of the table.

An interesting observation is that 9 of the top 10 bowlers come 3 teams (Rajasthan Royals, Delhi and Kings XI).

Disclaimer:
It goes without saying, that judging a bowler by taking into consideration only the above mentioned 3 parameters is not sufficient, especially considering the different roles and conditions under which the bowlers have to bowl.
However, because of the lack of better alternatives, this ranking does a fair job in illustrating how well (or badly) the bowlers have performed considering these widely accepted parameters.
