The Miser; Most Economical Bowler in Each Season of the IPL: Indian Premiere League (IPL) since its inception has been considered as a tournament devised for the batsmen. From flat pitches to shorter boundaries and power-play overs the buffet for the batsmen never seems to run out resources, but as we know the game of cricket cannot be constrained.

The Left arm Pakistani pacer is the only player in the history of IPL to take a six wicket haul, the record still holds in the eight seasons. Sohail Tanvir proved his worth in the RR dugout with splendid bowling performances, not only having the best economy for a fast bowler that season but he also ended up being the highest wicket taker. His heroics with the ball helped the Rajasthan Royals clinch their first ever IPL win.

Muralitharan under the captaincy of MS Dhoni rattled the opposition batsmen in the second season of IPL, Murali ended up being the most economical bowler for the season.

The Indian Off-spinner is probably the go-to guy for MS Dhoni be it for the International matches or IPL. Ashwin has been a consistent performer for the Super Kings with the ball, every time Dhoni turned towards him looking for wickets the Off-spinner has provided a break through. Ravi Ashwin had a pretty good season with the ball ending up having the best Economy rate in the third season helping CSK in winning the third season.

The fourth season of IPL turned out to be the season for Rahul Sharma, a young Indian leg-break bowler. Sharma&#8217; economical bowling performance in the fourth season earned him a spot in the Indian Team; he was the most economical bowler in IPL 2011.

Many call him the Mystery Spinner as no one till now has figured out a way to read his deliveries. The master of the carom ball added venom to the KKR bowling unit. Narine&#8217;s inclusion in the side added stability, the Mystery man finished IPL 2012 as the player of the tournament with 24 wickets at a miserly rate of 5.47 runs per over. KKR ended up winning their first ever IPL tournament in 2012.

Narine continued his magic for KKR in the second season on the trot, he was literally unplayable on occasions, batsmen failed to read his lengths and the direction that the ball would turn to. He not only led the KKR bowling attack but overall was the best bowler in IPL 2013. Sunil Narine’s economy at the end of 16 matches read 5.46 which is quite remarkable in any sense.

This young Indian all-rounder turned the game around for the Kings XI Punjab in the Seventh season of IPL in 2014. Patel&#8217;s slow left arm orthodox deliveries asked a lot of questions to the opposition batsmen, the young Indian spinner turned out to be the most economic bowler in IPL 2014 helping KXIP to reach the Finals. Patel&#8217;s brilliant on field performance earned him a spot in the Indian ODI team later that year.

The Indian spinner yet again proved to be the most economical bowler for the Super Kings in the current and eight edition of IPL. Ashwin&#8217; performance with the ball has helped CSK to cement their place in the finals. Though they could not win the final battle against a superlative Mumbai team, Ashwin stands out in the tournament with his economy of 5.84 being the best.

This young Indian all-rounder turned the game around for the Kings XI Punjab in the Seventh season of IPL in 2014. Patel’s slow left arm orthodox deliveries asked a lot of questions to the opposition batsmen, the young Indian spinner turned out to be the most economic bowler in IPL 2014 helping KXIP to reach the Finals. Patel’s brilliant on field performance earned him a spot in the Indian ODI team later that year.

The Indian spinner yet again proved to be the most economical bowler for the Super Kings in the current and eight edition of IPL. Ashwin’ performance with the ball has helped CSK to cement their place in the finals. Though they could not win the final battle against a superlative Mumbai team, Ashwin stands out in the tournament with his economy of 5.84 being the best.

The Miser; Most Economical Bowler in Each Season of the IPL: Indian Premiere League (IPL) since its inception has been considered as a tournament devised for the batsmen. From flat pitches to shorter boundaries and power-play overs the buffet for the batsmen never seems to run out resources, but as we know the game of cricket cannot be constrained. This festival we call IPL has seen many brilliant bowling performances.
Let&#8217;s have a look on the best economy rates of the bowlers having played at least 10 innings from every season. In the
<h3>The Miser; Most Economical Bowler in Each Season of the IPL:</h3>

The Left arm Pakistani pacer is the only player in the history of IPL to take a six wicket haul, the record still holds in the eight seasons. Sohail Tanvir proved his worth in the RR dugout with splendid bowling performances, not only having the best economy for a fast bowler that season but he also ended up being the highest wicket taker. His heroics with the ball helped the Rajasthan Royals clinch their first ever IPL win.

The Spin wizard of Sri Lanka, Muttiah Muralitharan is the nicest player you will come around. Numbers speak for the Spinning Maestro, holding the record of most International wickets in both Test and ODI any skipper would want him in his side. Muralitharan under the captaincy of MS Dhoni rattled the opposition batsmen in the second season of IPL, Murali ended up being the most economical bowler for the season. Let&#8217;s have a peek at his performance that season.

The Indian Off-spinner is probably the go-to guy for MS Dhoni be it for the International matches or IPL. Ashwin has been a consistent performer for the Super Kings with the ball, every time Dhoni turned towards him looking for wickets the Off-spinner has provided a break through. Ravi Ashwin had a pretty good season with the ball ending up having the best Economy rate in the third season helping CSK in winning the third season.

Many call him the Mystery Spinner as no one till now has figured out a way to read his deliveries. The master of the carom ball added venom to the KKR bowling unit. Narine&#8217;s inclusion in the side added stability, the Mystery man finished IPL 2012 as the player of the tournament with 24 wickets at a miserly rate of 5.47 runs per over. KKR ended up winning their first ever IPL tournament in 2012.

Narine continued his magic for KKR in the second season on the trot, he was literally unplayable on occasions, batsmen failed to read his lengths and the direction that the ball would turn to. He not only led the KKR bowling attack but overall was the best bowler in IPL 2013. Sunil Narine’s economy at the end of 16 matches read 5.46 which is quite remarkable in any sense.
