T20 cricket is more being a batter’s game, and each bowler wants to go for as few runs as possible. Bowling a maiden over generally puts a lot of pressure on the batting side especially in the T20 format. In this article, we will see bowlers with the lowest economy.
1. Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine is probably one of very few spinners to have the ability to bowl in the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs. Narine won IPL two times with Kolkata Knight Riders and was the highest wicket-taker for KKR in both seasons. He has played 354 T20s and picked up 393 wickets at an economy of 6.06.
2. Rashid khan
Rashid khan is one of the best white ball spinners in today’s time. He has proved himself in various cricket leagues. His biggest strength was he could spin the ball in both directions at over 90km/h. Batters don’t have much time to read him. He played 265 T20s and picked up 370 wickets at an economy of 6.27 per over.
3. Mohammad Hafeez
Mohammad Hafeez is known as the professor of Pakistan cricket and is going as strong as ever. He bowled with the new ball quite often and kept it stump to stump. This is the primary reason for his success. He was banned from bowling for his bowling actions for a while. Nowadays, he doesn’t bowl quite often. He has played 324 T20s and picked up 180 wickets with an economy of 6.42.
4. Imad Wasim
Imad Wasim is one of Pakistan’s premier all-rounders. He tries to deliver for his team every time. In 2016, he became the first Pakistani bowler to pick five-wicket haul in T20. He also bowls mainly with the new ball, and his arm ball is a treat to watch. He has played 324 T20s and took 180 wickets with an economy of 6.42.
5. Mohammad Irfan
Mohammad Irfan is the tallest cricketer to have ever played the sport. He is 7 feet 1 inch tall, and with that height he troubled most batters in the world. He used his height perfectly to extract bounce. He has played 150 T20s and picked 157 wickets at an economy of 6.64.
6. Mujeeb UR Rahman
Another Afghan player evolved in the list. He played many league games, and in IPL, he troubled many world-class players. He has the capability to be one of the best white-ball spinners, and with Rashid, he can take Afghanistan cricket to new heights. He has played 141 T20s and picked up 155 wickets with an economy of 6.71.
7. Shahid Afridi
Pakistani’s domination in the list continues as their superstar and entertainer, Afridi, enters the list. He is the only player in the history to score more than 8000 runs and have taken more than 300 wickets in ODIs. He played 326 T20s and picked up 344 wickets with an economy of 6.74.
8. Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh is the most successful off-spinner India has ever had, and not so much of a surprise that he is on the list. He played an essential role in every team he played. He has the record for the most number of dot balls in the IPL history. He has played 267 T20s and picked up 235 wickets with an economy of 6.78.
9. Aaron Phangiso
Aaron Phangiso is one of the unluckiest cricketers. Due to Imran Tahir’s he didn’t get many chances in the team. Phangiso is a left-arm off-spinner and is known for his accuracy. He has played 160 T20s and picked over 140 wickets with an economy of 6.82.
10. Dale Steyn
Dale Steyn would have been the best fast bowler in the modern- day era if injuries didn’t affect him. He was a rare commodity as he could swing in the ball in both directions and can, bowl beautiful Yorkers, and has a deadly Yorker. He has played 228 T20s and picked up 263 wickets with an economy of 6.85.
