Best Bowling Figures in IPL

Indian Premier League is one of the leading cricket tournaments in the shortest format and it is organized by the governing body of Indian cricket, BCCI. IPL was inaugurated on 18 April 2008 and it’s a cricket event where players from all across the globe are participating. The game was once thought to be a batsman’s game, but that notion has now altered. The IPL has grown in popularity among cricket fans, and every side now acknowledges the significance of bowlers. To win the match, they will require high-caliber bowlers as well as hitters. There have been some bowlers who have given their best figures in the history of IPL.
