IPL 6: The best bowlers so far

Detailed bowling stats from the IPL so far — with our all new interactive charts.

Sporting wickets has been the mantra of the IPL this season. While batsmen were known to hammer totals of 160-plus in previous years, 2013 has seen something for the bowlers too. It has become harder to bat, and we’ve seen some thrilling low-scoring finishes. The pacers have managed to bowl a number of dot balls, with Dale Steyn, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma doing particularly well in that area.

Mitchell Marsh, Ravindra Jadeja and Dinda have been hit for the most number of sixes — 11. It’s no surprise that Pune Warriors have conceded the most runs. That, and more interesting statistics in our interactive presentation below (updated till the Delhi Daredevils vs Kolkata Knight Riders match on 1 May).
