Player to take the most wickets in powerplay of IPL

Bhuvneshwar Kumar took the most wickets in powerplay of the IPL followed by Sandeep Sharma and Umesh Yadav. He became the topper of the list of the most wicket-takers in powerplay overs. As a player, anyone expects a good start for a T20 match whether he is batting or bowling. Batting teams always want to take the advantage of the powerplay overs due to the fielding restrictions.

While on the other hand, bowlers also want to take the crucial wicket at the start of the match to keep the pressure on the batting team. The interesting fact is that Bhuvneshwar not only has the most wickets, but he has the best strike rate and economy rate also in the powerplay.

Bhuvi struck on the very first over of the game last night against PBKS. He removed Prabhsimran Singh on a golden duck and added one more wicket to his name in the powerplay overs. Along with Bhuvi, Sandeep Sharma, and Umesh Yadav are also on the list of active players. Ashwin is the only spinner on the list who has taken the most wickets in powerplay of IPL.
