IPL 2016: 10 best bowlers

#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the Purple Cap holder this season

Coming into this season having dealt with injuries and a lack of form, Bhuvneshwar Kumar came to his own this time, using the new ball to a telling effect. He spearheaded an SRH attack that was jolted by the untimely absence of Ashish Nehra, but maintained his intensity to end with 23 wickets, a good two wickets clear of Chahal, who was on second position.

He bowled at a miserly economy of 7.42, ending with the Purple Cap and capping it off with a title win for Hyderabad.
