BBL Stats: Most Wickets (Overall)

The leading wicket-taker in a tournament like Big Bash League is a highly attributed position as the tournament is primarily tagged for its batting-friendly conditions. With batters taking most of the limelight in the tourney, bowlers win teams games. Therefore, having a bowler who is too good and accurate with his deliveries is a crucial asset for any side, especially in the shorter formats.

Ben Laughlin, the first to pick 100 wickets in Big Bash League, is not the table-topper anymore. The baton changes hands in every edition as the top of the table is crowded by many top-class bowlers.

This article will list the top ten bowlers who have picked the most wickets in BBL history.

Another non-Australian bowler Lasith Malinga’s 6/7 against Scorchers, while playing for Melbourne Stars in the year 2012, still stands top as the best bowling performance of BBL.
