Advanced IPL Bowling Stats

• Best bowling figures: Mohsin Khan (Lucknow Super Giants) – 5/23

• Only five-wicket haul of IPL 2026: Mohsin Khan

• Best economy rate: Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders) – 6.65

• Second-best economy rate: Harpreet Brar (Punjab Kings) – 7.50

• Best bowling strike rate: Travis Head (Sunrisers Hyderabad) – 6.00

• Best bowling average: Travis Head (Sunrisers Hyderabad) – 7.00

Head's bowling figures require some context. He bowled only one over during the season, taking one wicket for seven runs. That gives him a strike rate of six balls per wicket and a bowling average of 7.00, but it does not represent the workload of a regular bowler.

Sunil Narine, by contrast, bowled a substantial number of overs and finished with the best economy rate among the qualifying bowlers.

The 2026 season subsequently set a new IPL record for the number of 200-plus team totals, highlighting the continued increase in high-scoring matches.
