IPL 2019: Best economy rates in IPL history

#1 Sunil Narine (IPL Matches - 98, Economy rate - 6.53)

Sunil Narine is a vital cog for KKR

Sunil Narine is the most economical bowler in the history of IPL. He has been an integral part of the Kolkata Knight Riders since 2012. The right-arm off break bowler also represents Trinbago Knight Riders in Caribbean Premier League, Dhaka Dynamites in the Bangladesh Premier League, and Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League.

The 30-year-old has overall made 112 scalps in 98 matches at a strike rate of 20.4 and a rather impressive economy rate of 6.54. He is also the 7th on the list of all-time highest wicket-takers in the IPL.

Narine has also developed himself as a potent opening batsman as well, who, more often than not, scores a few quickfire runs at the top. 357 runs and 17 wickets in the 16 IPL matches that he played last season earned him the Most Valuable Player title. The Trinidad & Tobago-born player has been retained by KKR for a whopping ₹ 8.5 crores and will hope to make a similar impact for them as he did last season.
