Jasprit Bumrah against the KKR Team, 5/10 for the Mumbai Indians
It should come as no surprise that this individual has the top bowling stats from the IPL 2022. Currently, Jasprit Bumrah is arguably the most deadly death bowler in the world. He has an unrivaled ability to manipulate a batter into an elaborate failure and secure a wicket to turn the tide of the game. One of many instances of his untapped ball talent was his outstanding stint of 5/10 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Even if Mumbai’s batsmen didn’t support the bowlers as effectively as they should have, this period nonetheless went down as one of the most efficient ones in IPL history.
Wanindu Hasaranga — 5/18 — Royal Challengers Bangalore vs. SRH Team
Wanindu Hasaranga is known for his control, accuracy, and speed. He has demonstrated via his performance in the 15th IPL season that he is so much more than simply another fast bowler. His assistance to his group enabled them to advance to this year’s second qualification game. Hasaranga is one of the best bowlers, having taken 26 wickets with an average of 16.53 and an economy of just 7.54. His greatest performance of the year, a jaw-dropping 5/18 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, solidified him as the team’s reliable ball-handler.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Umran Malik had a 5/25 against the GT Team.
The IPL and Indian cricket fans have always held a particular place in their hearts for young pacers. Young Umran Malik, an uncapped fast bowler from Kashmir who won hearts as quickly as he grabbed wickets, justifiably claimed this particular spot. He amassed three three-wicket hauls and a stunning fiver (5/25) against the Gujarat Titans. Despite Hyderabad losing the game, Malik stood out for his accurate bowling and composure under pressure. Malik also holds the distinction of bowling the ball with the second-fastest season average, a 157 kph delivery against the Delhi Capitals.
Yuzvendra Chahal, 5/40 for the Rajasthan Royals against the KKR Team
This list had to include the season’s outstanding Purple Cap winner. In his greatest effort, Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a mind-blowing 5-for-40 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. These five dismissals featured the bowler’s first and only hat trick of the IPL as well as the first three outs of the whole season. He got Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Mavi, and Pat Cummins of KKR in three straight deliveries. Thanks to Chahal’s raw talent and ability to lure the batters into his traps, KKR lost its footing and its opportunity at a comeback in the game extremely fast with four wickets lost in only seven balls.
Against GT Team, Kolkata Knight Riders, Andre Russell had a 4/5 record.
When Kolkata requested Russell to bowl the final over of the game against the nearly unbeaten Gujarat, they understood when to bring in the big guns. What a waste it was! Russell’s performance earned him a 4/5, making it one of the most efficient spells this year. Despite losing the game, the over in and of itself became the topic of conversation for the evening. In just one over, he was able to dismiss Lockie Ferguson, Abhinav Manohar, Yash Dayal, and Gujarat’s powerful hitter Rahul Tewatia. The 17 wickets Russell has taken this season have all been magnificent, but these four were exceptional.
Kuldeep Yadav, 4/14, Delhi Capitals vs. KKR Team
The star is coming back! After being benched by KKR for a few seasons owing to injuries and bad play, Kuldeep Yadav made a spectacular comeback in the blue jersey of Delhi Capitals, and what a comeback it was! For the youthful Delhi team, his unrivaled spinner ability gave him a formidable bowling option, and he never let them down. The success of the club that came close to making the playoffs was significantly impacted by his 21 dismissals this season. Against Kolkata Knight Riders, his old team, Yadav bowled a spellbinding 4/14 overs. His season average was just 19.95, and in his 49.4 innings, he only allowed 419 runs.
Mohsin Khan – Lucknow Super Giants vs. DC Team, 4/16
Four wickets in a game are one thing, but the players that Mohsin Khan of the Lucknow Super Giants was able to take out are quite another. For his team, his 4/16 was a game-changer. David Warner, the deadly opener for the Delhi Capitals, skipper Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, and Roman Powell were all crucial victims for Khan. It was crucial in helping the team win the game and raising his tournament stats. This particular stint makes him more than deserving of a spot on this list of the finest bowling performances in IPL 2022, even though he has collected a total of 14 excellent wickets this season.
Kuldeep Sen, 4/20 for Rajasthan Royals against the RCB Team
For young, developing bowlers, this season has undoubtedly been quite beneficial, and Kuldeep Sen is no exception. Even though he wasn’t given a regular berth in the playing XI, he made the most of his chances and bowled a fantastic 4/20 against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He received high plaudits for his four match-changing dismissals of captain Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel. To have your spell named as one of the top bowling performances in IPL 2022 must seem like a dream come true. Let’s hope we get to witness more of his incredible bowling soon now that he is more widely known.
Umesh Yadav, 4/23, Kolkata Knight Riders vs. PBKS Team
This player’s form has greatly improved over the past couple of seasons, and it is evident on the field! Early in the season, Umesh Yadav bowled a match-winning stint against the Punjab Kings to put his team on course for victory. Fans were surprised and delighted by his 4/23 as KKR held PBKS to a score of 137. Yadav’s spell included the captain Mayank Agarwal, Liam Livingstone, Rahul Chahar, and Harpreet Brar, making it quite clear that their rivals had little chance after losing the majority of their key players. Yadav was named player of the match and KKR won the game thanks to the spell.
Avesh Khan, 4/24 against the SRH Team, for the Lucknow Super Giants
This season, LSG has established itself as one of the most promising teams. Their team had a fantastic mix of batting, bowling, and fielding styles. Avesh Khan was one of these fantastic bowling alternatives, demonstrating his talent with a stunning 4/24 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Furthermore, these were not minor victories. In his four overs, Khan dismissed both SRH openers Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson, as well as Nicholas Pooran and Abdul Samad. Williamson also serves as the team’s captain. He has taken 18 wickets this season and has gained a lot of support from the crowd. Avesh Khan is extremely close to the top of the list of uncapped Indian players for whom this IPL season has proved revolutionary.
