In the Indian T20 League, Kagiso Rabada has the highest strike rate of any bowler with more than 25 wickets. His strike rate is under 14.5, which is an incredible effort considering that he has taken close to 100 wickets.
In the upcoming season, he will undoubtedly break Malinga’s record for the fastest to 100 Indian T20 League wickets after only playing 63 games and picking up 99 wickets. The Punjab team will expect him to get good results for them in the future as well.
#4 Rashid Khan- 112 wickets

The tale of Rashid Khan in the Indian T20 League is very inspiring. There is no denying that the young Afghan bowler has completely altered the course of Afghan cricketers. As the most economical bowler in the list, the Afghani leg spinner leads all bowlers with more than 8 wickets taken in the competition.
Since making his debut in 2017, Rashid, who played for Hyderabad for 5 years, recently moved to Gujarat. The mystery leg spinner is incredibly consistent, taking at least 15 wickets each season. He would also want to continue that in the upcoming seasons.
#3 Sunil Narine-152 wickets

Sunil Narine will be remembered as one of the best Indian T20 League players. Since making his debut in 2012, the mystery spinner has been a one-team player for the Kolkata team and their go-to bowler. From 2012 to 2014, the Trinidadian bowler had three straight seasons with at least 20 wickets.
Since his change in behaviour, his ability to take wickets has been ineffective, but he is still quite economical. Narine has twice in his Indian T20 League career been named Most Valuable Player.
#2 Lasith Malinga- 170 wickets

The greatest bowler in Indian T20 League history is Lasith Malinga. Slinga is the second-highest wicket-taker in the history of the competition, and not just among foreign bowlers. He has 13 more wickets despite playing 25 fewer matches than Amit Mishra (third).
The legendary Sri Lankan bowler, who holds numerous bowling records, played his entire career for Mumbai. Malinga had an incredible season in 2011, winning the purple cap for taking 28 wickets at a 5.95 economy rate and a fantastic strike rate.
#1 Dwayne Bravo- 183 wickets

Additionally, DJ Bravo has represented Mumbai and the now-defunct Gujarat team, and he has always been a lethal death bowler. He currently holds the record for the most wickets in a single season (32).
