Rank IPL bowlers
The top 3 IPL T20 bowlers are SL Malinga, DJ Bravo and SP Narine
Don’t get hung up on the decimals in the average wickets for the bowlers. All it implies is that if 2 bowlers have average wickets of 1.0 and 1.5, it implies that in 2 matches the 1st bowler will take 2 wickets and the 2nd bowler will take 3 wickets.
