Economy rate in T20 cricket measures how many runs a bowler concedes per over — a crucial metric in a format where every run matters. Lasith Malinga's economy rate of 7.14 is the best among any bowler with 100+ IPL wickets, reflecting his ability to bowl accurate death-over yorkers and slower balls. Jasprit Bumrah (7.24), Ravindra Jadeja (7.67), and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (7.69) are the other standout economical high-volume IPL bowlers. Sunil Narine's mystery spin has produced extraordinary economy in the powerplay across his career.
