IPL: The cost of each wicket taken by the top 5 bowlers in the tournament's history

#3 Piyush Chawla - INR 30.44 Lakhs/Wicket

Piyush Chawla is somewhat of an IPL great

The Uttar Pradesh-born leg-spinner, Piyush Chawla, began his IPL career with Kings XI Punjab in 2008 and represented them for the first six editions of the IPL. In 2014, Chawla was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders and has been representing them since then. Chawla has been retained by KKR again for a huge sum of INR 4.26 crores.

The 30-year-old is one of the few Indian talents who found massive success in the IPL but failed to replicate the same at the International stage.

Chawla stands as the third highest wicket-taker in the history of the tournament with 140 wickets 144 matches. At the moment the KKR spinner is also the 7th highest paid bowler in the history of IPL with a total salary of INR 42.62 crores.

Thus Chawla was paid a massive sum of INR 30.44 lakhs for every wicket he has mustered thus far in the tournament.
