T20 cricket is considered a batsman’s game. However, it should be mentioned that most of the time, it is a bowler who turns the game for his team. Teams all over the world have realized that winning a competition requires a strong squad of bowlers. This is also true in the IPL, the world’s largest T20 tournament.
Over the years, it has been seen that teams with good bowlers perform rather well, while those with poor bowlers tend to fall behind.
We’ll go through four off-break bowlers who have taken the most wickets in IPL history in this article.
- Ravichandran Ashwin – 152
Ashwin is a regular member of the Indian Cricket Team. He began his IPL career with CSK and is now with the Rajasthan Royals. Ashwin is a difficult bowler to hit in the IPL because of his ability to take wickets at regular intervals and his ability to flight, and bowl the occasional quicker ball in critical moments. In 175 games, he has 152 wickets.
- Sunil Narine – 150
Narine has proven to be a vital member of the Knight Riders team. The West Indies all-rounder made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for the Knight Riders in 2012. Since his debut in the T20 league, KKR hasn’t let go of the all-rounder, and Narine has repaid the faith with a number of match-defining efforts. Narine has taken 150 wickets in 143 matches.
- Harbhajan Singh – 150
Bhajji is one of the best off-spinners in the game’s history. His arsenal includes all of the deliveries that an off-spinner would want. In the IPL, he has shown consistent performance with the ball. Harbhajan Singh has played for CSK, MI, and KKR. In 163 games, he has 150 wickets.
- Muthiah Muralidaran – 63
During his three-year tenure with CSK, the Sri Lankan spin-wizard was a key team member.

He has also represented Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Royal Challengers Bangalore. In 66 games, Muralitharan has 63 wickets.
