3 bowlers to have conceded the fewest runs in IPL history
In the T20 format, which is known as a batter’s format, bowlers have to be at their best to contain the flow of runs in such a fast and action-packed format. In the quota of a maximum of 24 deliveries, the bowler tries to concede as few runs as possible. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) bowlers who have bowled a minimum of 20 overs have leaked the fewest of runs.
Let’s take a look at 3 bowlers to have leaked the fewest runs in the history of IPL: (Min 20 overs bowled)
3. David Willey (167)
England seam bowler David Willey has conceded the third-fewest runs with a minimum of 20 overs bowled in the IPL. Former Chennai Super Kings and current Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowler Willey has leaked 167 runs in the 21 overs. He is played just a handful of matches that is seven. The left-arm pacer has taken three wickets with an economy rate of 7.95 in his short IPL career.
2. Thilan Thushara (161)
Former Sri Lanka pacer Thilan Thushara has leaked the second-fewest runs with a minimum of 20 overs bowled. He played just six matches for Chennai Super Kings in the seasons 2009 and 2010. The left-arm seam bowler conceded 161 runs in the 22.3 overs and took eight wickets at an economy rate of just 7.15.
