Dwayne Bravo is the most successful wicket-taker in IPL history, but few people know that he has never taken a five-wicket haul. Only Jaydev Unadkat and James Faulkner have taken more than one five-wicket haul.
Dwayne Bravo, who has the most wickets in IPL history and broke Malinga’s record this year, is an unexpected name on this list. In IPL history, the right-arm medium bowler has taken 181 wickets but has never taken five wickets in a single inning. He’s only taken 17 balls per wicket, which is lower than the rest.
Ravichandran Ashwin made his IPL debut in 2009. In the IPL, this right-arm off-spinner has bowled the most innings without a five-wicket haul. He is a more economical bowler in the T20s than a wicket-taking option.
