IPL 2020 are going to be played in UAE from September 19 to November 8. The cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will now begin September 19 Saturday and therefore the final of IPL 2020 are going to be persisted November 8 Sunday.

Here we take a look at the ten bowlers with the most number of wickets in the history of the tournament.

1.Lasith Malinga (M – 122, W – 170, BBM – 5/13)

The Sri Lankan pacer, widely considered one in all the modern-day greats in white-ball cricket, has been a standardized performer within the IPL since he made his debut in 2009. the very fact that he tops this list despite having not played the tournament on three separate occasions – 2008, 2016 and 2018 – speaks volumes about his class. His IPL career has seen him play for the Mumbai Indians since Day1. Injuries have slowed him down in recent years but his ability to bowl yorkers on demand while also having the ability to combine up his pace with great effect means Mumbai still depend on him – and he's able to deliver every single time.

2.Amit Mishra (M – 147, W – 157, BBM – 5/17)

The wily leg-spinner has been a key cog in whatever side he has represented since the primary season of the IPL. Mishra’s career has largely seen him prove for the Delhi Daredevils – now Delhi Capitals – but the Delhi-born spinner has also clad for the Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Spinners have often found success within the shortest format of the sport and Mishra has been a standardized performer within the tournament. Mishra’s success came from him sticking to the basics; he preferred to truly toss the botch up and appearance for spin rather than going flat and hard. His best season came in 2013 when he took 21 wickets and therefore the veteran took a good 11 wickets in 2019.

3.Harbhajan Singh (M – 160, W – 150, BBM – 5/18)

The veteran Indian off-spinner has tasted lots of success on the international stage and he used his years of experience to become a canny operator within the IPL similarly. Harbhajan has tasted lots of success with both his franchises – Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings – and has nearly always been one in all the primary names on the team-sheet for his sides. He has had to vary his approach to bowling over the years, going flatter and relying less on spinning the ball a protracted way. However, he has remained both economical and among the wickets for as long as he has played, a testament to both his longevity and skill to improvise with the days.

4.Piyush Chawla (M – 157, W – 150, BBM – 4/17)

Chawla’s biggest weapon over the years within the IPL has been a well-disguised googly. Never the best turner of the ball, the leggie has made a career out of bowling in consistent lines so troubling batsmen with the occasional one that turns the opposite way. He spent the primary three seasons of the IPL with Kings XI Punjab where he was a homogenous performer but never tasted much success otherwise. His move to Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011 changed that; Chawla would be a key a part of the edges that lifted the trophy in 2012 and 2014, including scoring the winning runs within the 2014 final. Now playing for Chennai Super Kings, he will hope to feature to his impressive tally of 150 wickets.

5.Dwayne Bravo (M – 134, W – 147, BBM – 4/22)

Bravo who has established himself as the same performer in T20 cricket round the world, it's no surprise that Bravo is as entrenched in IPL history as he's. His career started with the Mumbai Indians but his legendary status within the IPL came largely when he moved to Chennai Super Kings. His ability to bowl well at any time of the match – and particularly so at the death – have seen him become a friend favourite of the Yellow Army. the very fact that he can take wickets almost at will definitely doesn’t hurt. He has made useful contributions with the bat still but it's with the ball that Bravo has become one amongst CSK’s most threatening weapons.

6.Bhuvneshwar Kumar (M – 117, W – 133, BBM – 5/19)

The fact that Bhuvneshwar is on this list is impressive in itself on condition that he only made his IPL debut in 2011, by which era 3 editions of the tournament had been played. Bhuvneshwar had short stints within the now-defunct Pune Warriors furthermore as in Royal Challengers Bangalore but it's for the Sunrisers Hyderabad that he has shone the foremost. Comfortable with both new ball and old while also possessing both a powerful change of pace and a watch for the yorker, it's no wonder he features on this list. Recent seasons have seen him struggle a touch but his impressive past showings and obvious talent sees him remain a significant cog for the Hyderabad franchise.

7.Ravichandran Ashwin (M – 139, W – 125, BBM – 4/34)

Ashwin first to national prominence because of his performances for home side Chennai Super Kings within the IPL. His ability to bowl in consistent lines in addition as an eagerness to never stop attempting to find innovations – he incorporates a doosra, a carrom ball and even the odd leg-spinner in his arsenal – saw him become a good operator for CSK. Recent years have seen his wicket tally drop just a touch but he has grown as a player – apart from occasionally chipping in with the bat, he was  captain of Kings XI Punjab in 2018 and 2019. Now with the Delhi Capitals and free from the captaincy burdens, Ashwin will doubtless be looking to form his mark as a bowler again.

8.Sunil Narine (M – 110, W – 122, BBM – 5/19)

 The West Indian spinner made a rapid impact on the Kolkata Knight Riders side when he joined in 2012, his 24 wickets being a significant reason for them winning the IPL for the primary time. He took 22 wickets in what was a disappointing 2013 campaign but starred yet again in 2014, taking 21 wickets as KKR claimed the trophy for a second time. a necessity to rework his bowling action saw his effectiveness with the ball visit recent years but he remains an important operator for the side. he's now more of a gap batsman who can bowl but Narine will hope to feature more wickets to his tally and remind the planet of what made him such a deadly operator in white-ball cricket.

9.Umesh Yadav (M – 119, W – 119, BBM – 4/24)

 Umesh is basically seen as someone better suited to the longer format of the sport but his IPL career has been an honest one additionally. He has represented three franchises in his career up to now, having made his debut with the Delhi Daredevils before moving to the Kolkata Knight Riders and later Royal Challengers Bangalore. While he was never the person around whom the bowling attack revolved for any of his sides, the speedster has chipped in with wickets regularly and has won the IPL twice with KKR. His IPL form in recent times has been up and down – he took 20 wickets in 2018 but only 8 in 2019 – and can be looking to try to to more in 2020.

10.Ravindra Jadeja (M – 170, W – 108, BBM – 5/16)

Jadeja made his IPL debut in 2008 itself and therefore the man Shane Warne dubbed a ‘rockstar’ won the tournament with Rajasthan Royals. Interestingly, he took no wickets the least bit that year but he has consistently been among the wickets since then. The Saurashtra all-rounder’s biggest strength is his consistency; he's ready to bowl at a regular line and length and gets through his overs quickly, meaning batsmen never realty settle into a rhythm with him. His recent form in white-ball cricket for India has also been stellar so Chennai fans can expect more from him within the coming years. He claimed a good 15 wickets in 2019 and will all right top that figure this year.
