Each bowler wants to go for as few runs as possible in this format.
With T20 being more of a batsman’s game, sometimes people think that bowlers are less important than batsmen. However, it’s actually the opposite. It is seen that teams having the strongest all-rounders & bowlers tend to be more successful.
Each bowler wants to go for as few runs as possible in this format. This is only possible when a bowler has 3-4 variations in his armour & is able to think on his feet & change his tactics as per the situation in the match as T20 is the most dynamic format.
So let’s look at the top 10 current T20 bowlers based on their economy (min 100 T20s, must’ve played at the international level & associate nations are excluded)
10 most economical bowlers of T20s
1. Sunil Narine
Probably the first spinner in the history of T20 cricket who was given the ball whenever the captain needed a wicket- whether it be in the powerplay or the middle overs or in death, Sunil Narine hardly failed to deliver. He has played 354 T20s & picked up 393 wickets at an economy of 6.06 runs per over
One of the three players to have won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the IPL twice, he was pivotal in turning a mediocre KKR team into a champion side. KKR won the IPL twice- 2012 & 2014 where Narine was the highest wicket-taker for KKR in both seasons. He has also won the CPL 4 times with the Trinbago Knight Riders.
He has had his struggles with the constant allegation of chucking & having to revamp his action. Though the past 1.5 years have been a lean patch for him, one can be certain that this champion player will bounce back & contribute immensely to any team he plays for.
