IPL 2016: 10 best bowlers

#4 Dhawal Kulkarni

Kulkarni formed a formidable pair with Praveen Kumar

Kulkarni has been part of the IPL since the inaugural year, first for the Mumbai Indians and then the Rajasthan Royals. He got a more prominent role for the Gujarat Lions this season, sharing the new ball with Praveen Kumar. And he stepped up to the challenge with style.

He picked up as many as 18 wickets in 14 matches this season, with a strike rate of 16 and an economy of less than 7.5. That included a deadly spell of 4-14 against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
