Top wicket takers of IPL (Source: Twitter)
When T20s were first introduced in 2003, it was believed that the shortest format would ultimately favour batters. But things have changed over the past few years as top teams have realised how important bowlers are to winning in the T20 format. Certain franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have struggled due to their lack of bowling ability. The strongest teams, though, namely the Mumbai Indians (MI), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), have cemented their dominance in league with the aid of their potent bowling staff. The IPL 2022 debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) used their bowling arsenal to help them win many games. This suggests that bowlers are essential for teams to experience success in the financially rewarding league.
