Rating the 10 best bowlers in IPL history

4. Amit Mishra- 8.5

When the format arrived fresh and new, experts believed the art of leg-spin win die a painful death. As it turned out a decade later, leg-spinners like Rashid Khan went for INR 9 Crore in the IPL auction as they’re the ones who bring about a difference in the game. Among all those amazing leg-spinners this tournament witnessed, it’ll be hard to match the class of Amit Mishra.

With his slow and mysterious leg-breaks, Amit Mishra flighted his way out of trouble and could perhaps be the best bowler in the middle overs in IPL history. He’s represented the Delhi Daredevils, Deccan Chargers and the Sunrisers Hyderabad and is the only player to have picked up a hat-trick for three different teams.

The second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament’s history, Amit Mishra has picked up 157 wickets in 147 games at an economy of 7.35 and a strike-rate under 20. Without debates, he has been the best spinner this tournament has seen although his quality has diminished in the last few seasons.
