7 quintessential IPL records for every enthusiast

Best overall bowling economy rate – Sunil Narine

Once again it is Sunil Narine whose economy rate of 6 puts him out of reach of any other bowler in the IPL, amongst anyone who has played at least 15 games. Ravichandran Ashwin is the next with an economy of 6.45 from 97 games.

Shaun Pollock, Anil Kumble and Glenn McGrath are the three veterans who occupy the next three spots with economies of 6.54, 6.57 and 6.61 but only one of them, Kumble, played for more than one season. Malinga is sixth with an economy of 6.67. Overall there are just 16 bowlers with an economy of below 7 in the IPL showing how tough a tournament it can be for the bowlers.
