Chahal to Bumrah: Check full list of highest wicket-takers in IPL history
While the IPL is often celebrated for its explosive batting performances, the role of bowlers in shaping match outcomes is equally crucial. The old saying, 'batters win you games, bowlers win you tournaments,' rings especially true in the IPL, where momentum shifts can hinge on a single breakthrough. Bowlers who deliver under pressure, especially during the death overs or in powerplays—are invaluable assets to their teams. Chahal topping the list after 18 seasons Topping the list of all-time leading wicket-takers in IPL history is Yuzvendra Chahal. The leg-spinner has claimed 205 wickets in 161 matches, maintaining an impressive average of 22.61 and an economy rate of 7.85. Chahal made history as the first bowler to reach the 200-wicket milestone in the league. His standout performance came in the 2022 season while playing for Rajasthan Royals, where he bagged 27 wickets and won the prestigious Purple Cap. Following Chahal on the leaderboard is veteran spinner Piyush Chawla with 192 wickets. Close behind are Dwayne Bravo with 183 wickets, and the ever-reliable Sunil Narine and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, each with 181 scalps. These bowlers have consistently delivered match-winning spells, proving that while batters may entertain, it's often the bowlers who seal victories and define championship campaigns. All-time highest wicket takers in IPL history Rank Player Name Innings Wickets 1 Yuzvendra Chahal 171 220 2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar 189 196 3 Piyush Chawla 191 192 4 Sunil Narine 187 192 5 Ravichandran Ashwin 217 187 6 Dwayne Bravo 158 183 7 Jasprit Bumrah 145 183 8 Amit Mishra 162 174 9 Lasith Malinga 122 170 10 Ravindra Jadeja 225 170

Shreyas Iyer's Punjab Kings are set to play in IPL 2025 final against RCB at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Preity Zinta's PBKS have a major worry ahead of IPL 2025 final against RCB.

RCB vs PBKS Predicted Playing 11, IPL 2025 Final Match: Player lists, impact subs, full squad for Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings match
IPL 2025 Final Match Today, RCB vs PBKS Predicted Playing 11 Today Match, Full Squad: The Indian Premier League (IPL) will have a new champion on Tuesday with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) set to face the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final in Ahmedabad. Neither side has ever managed to win the title. While this is RCB's fourth final, and first since 2016, it is only the second time that PBKS have reached the title clash. The last time they reached this stage was in 2014. However, their captain Shreyas Iyer is gunning for a second consecutive title, having led Kolkata Knight Riders to the trophy last season. The final is a replay of Qualifier 1, in which PBKS were dismantled by RCB. PBKS ended up being all out for 101, the joint lowest ever score in an IPL playoff, and RCB went on to chase the target down with 10 overs to spare. However, PBKS responded by flattening the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult in Qualifier 2 and chasing down a 200-plus target with an over to spare. It would be quite a surprise if either side made any changes without being forced to do so by an injury. In that regard, the only uncertainty for PBKS would be whether Yuzvendra Chahal would be fit enough to play. While he had bowled his full quota against MI, bowling coach James Hopes later revealed that the ace spinner had not been upto full fitness during the match. If his niggle forces him to sit out, Harpreet Brar would be a worthy replacement. RCB XII: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Mayank Agarwal, Rajat Patidar (c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma PBKS XII: Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Josh Inglis (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Kyle Jamieson, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar/Yuzvendra Chahal, Vijaykumar Vyshak Squads: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Squad: Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarawal, Rajat Patidar(c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma, Rasikh Dar Salam, Manoj Bhandage, Tim Seifert, Swapnil Singh, Tim David, Blessing Muzarabani, Nuwan Thushara, Mohit Rathee, Swastik Chikara, Abhinandan Singh Punjab Kings Squad: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Kyle Jamieson, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harpreet Brar, Suryansh Shedge, Praveen Dubey, Xavier Bartlett, Vishnu Vinod, Yash Thakur, Aaron Hardie, Kuldeep Sen, Mitchell Owen, Harnoor Singh, Musheer Khan, Pyla Avinash

Yuzvendra Chahal. New Delhi: After an 11-year absence, the Punjab Kings reached the IPL final in 2025, defeating the Mumbai Indians in a closely contested Qualifier 2 match in Ahmedabad. Their upcoming final against RCB on June 3rd in Ahmedabad presents an opportunity to claim their first IPL championship. To achieve this, they will need a strong team lineup. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will begin their innings with Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, a pairing that has proven successful throughout IPL 2025. Josh Inglis, batting at number three, will serve as wicketkeeper and aims to continue his strong performance from the season. Shreyas Iyer, PBKS's top scorer, will look to maintain his form in the final. The middle order will consist of Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, and Shahshank Singh. The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are expected to field Azmatuallah Omarzai, Kyle Jamieson, and Arshdeep Singh as their primary pace bowlers, with Vijaykumar Vyshak also featuring.
