IPL 2021: Top 10 Economy Rate This Season

In a format like T20 cricket and especially in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where batsmen are always looking to score big runs, it becomes imperative for any bowler to concede fewer runs as possible. More than wickets, it is often the economy rates which proves to be more critical in the shortest format.
