Jasprit-Bumrah-IPL-1
The IPL is scheduled to start from March 22 this year. The first match was held between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. By the way, this league is considered to be batsman-friendly and bowlers are able to get wickets only with their special skills. Especially at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, it is a real test for the bowlers. It has been seen in the IPL that bowlers are beaten in the death overs, but there are some bowlers who have the expertise to bowl in the death overs.
Former Mumbai Indians fast bowler Lasith Malinga and pacer Jasprit Bumrah are among them. They have a special weapon, due to which they are able to take wickets even in the death overs. The name of this weapon is yorker. These bowlers trouble the batter a lot by throwing the ball in the block hole from the yorker. In this article, we take a look at the highest wicket-takers in IPL history. Let’s know. IPL2024
Malinga is known as the king of yorkers. He has won many matches for Mumbai with this skill. He has some 170 wickets to his name in this league and is the sixth highest wicket-taker. However, when it comes to taking wickets on the yorker ball, there is no one ahead of him. Malinga has taken a total of 34 wickets with this ball, which is almost three times more than the bowlers in this list. Talking about IPL career, Malinga’s economy rate was also excellent.

The second on the list is Sunrisers Hyderabad’s current bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar and former Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who have taken 12-12 wickets on the yorker length ball. Bhuvneshwar has been away from the Indian team for quite some time, but in this league, he does not miss to take advantage of his experience. Bhuvi has been associated with Sunrisers for a long time and has won many matches for this team in the death overs. The yorker-length ball has been his main weapon in the death overs. Bhuvi has a total of 170 wickets in this league and his economy rate is 7.39. At the same time, CSK’s Bravo has also taken a total of 12 wickets with the yorker length ball. There is hardly any bowler who has a better variation than Bravo in the death overs. He has won many matches for CSK in the death overs.
Former cricketer RP Singh, Rajasthan’s current fast bowler Boult and Mumbai’s Bumrah have so far taken a total of 10-10 wickets with the yorker length ball. After Malinga’s retirement, Mumbai’s hopes are pinned on Bumrah. Bumrah did not play last year and Mumbai had to bear the brunt of it. Mumbai had a lot of runs in the death overs. However, this time, he is making a comeback and Mumbai have high hopes from him. Bumrah has taken 145 wickets in the IPL so far. His economy rate is 7.39. At the same time, Boult has taken 105 wickets so far, while his number of wickets on the yorker length ball is also 10. RP Singh took 90 wickets in his IPL career, but took 10 wickets on yorkers.
