List of Most 4-Wicket Hauls in IPL

Yuzvendra Chahal — 9 Four-Wicket Hauls

Punjab Kings / RR / RCB / MI | All-Time Record

Yuzvendra Chahal holds the all-time IPL record for most four-wicket hauls with 9 across his career. His best figures are 5/40 vs KKR in 2022 (IPL Qualifier, which included a hat-trick). In IPL 2025 while playing for Punjab Kings, he took 4/32 vs CSK — which also included a hat-trick — becoming the only bowler to take a 4-wicket haul in a single over in IPL history, and equalling then surpassing Sunil Narine on the all-time four-hauls list.

Sunil Narine — 8 Four-Wicket Hauls

Kolkata Knight Riders | Mystery Spinner

Sunil Narine has 8 four-wicket hauls for KKR in IPL history — the second-most by any bowler — including his best figures of 5/19 vs KXIP in 2012. His mystery spin variations — carrom ball, off-break, and top-spinner — have regularly produced cluster wickets in the middle overs, with most of his four-fors coming in the powerplay and middle overs phases.

Lasith Malinga — 6 Four-Wicket Hauls

Mumbai Indians | Best Economy Among Top 3 (7.14)

Lasith Malinga took 6 four-wicket hauls for Mumbai Indians across his IPL career (2009–2019), with his best figures of 5/13 vs Delhi Daredevils in 2011. Despite bowling predominantly in the death overs — where four-wicket hauls are rarest — his toe-crushing yorkers and slower balls regularly produced cluster wickets. He is the third-most prolific four-haul bowler in IPL history.

Kagiso Rabada — 6 Four-Wicket Hauls

Delhi Capitals / Punjab Kings | Purple Cap 2020 (30 wickets)

Kagiso Rabada has taken 6 four-wicket hauls in IPL, jointly with Malinga. He played 84 IPL matches and took 119 wickets including six four-fors, with a best of 4/21 vs RCB in 2019. His express pace and back-of-a-length bowling regularly dismissed world-class batters, including during his record-setting 30-wicket Purple Cap campaign in 2020.

Mohit Sharma — 6 Four-Wicket Hauls

Chennai Super Kings / Gujarat Titans | Purple Cap 2014

Mohit Sharma has 6 four-wicket hauls in IPL, including his extraordinary 5/10 vs Delhi Capitals for GT in 2023 — the joint-most economical five-wicket haul in IPL history (equalling Bumrah's 5/10). He won the Purple Cap in 2014 with 23 wickets for CSK. His deceptive slower balls and wide yorkers are his primary wicket-taking weapons.

Amit Mishra — 5 Four-Wicket Hauls

Delhi / SRH / LSG | 3 Hat-Tricks (Record)

Amit Mishra has 5 four-wicket hauls in IPL including his best figures of 5/17 vs Deccan Chargers in 2008 (which also included a hat-trick). His 3 IPL hat-tricks are the most by any bowler in the tournament's history, and four of his five four-hauls came while also taking a wicket or more in the same over sequence.

Jasprit Bumrah — 3 Four-Wicket Hauls

Mumbai Indians | Best Economy Among Four-Haul Bowlers (7.24)

Jasprit Bumrah has 3 four-wicket hauls in IPL, though both are five-wicket hauls (5/10 in 2022 and a further 5-wicket haul in 2024), making him the most efficient four-plus haul bowler. His economy rate of 7.24 across all 183 wickets is the best among any bowler with three or more four-fors, and his 5/10 in 2022 is the joint-most economical 5-wicket haul in IPL history.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar — 3 Four-Wicket Hauls

Sunrisers Hyderabad | 2 Five-Wicket Hauls | 2x Purple Cap Winner

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has 3 four-plus wicket hauls for SRH in IPL, including 2 five-wicket hauls (5/19 in 2017 and 5/27 in 2023). He is the only bowler in IPL history to win back-to-back Purple Caps (2016 and 2017), and his 198 career wickets are second only to Chahal on the all-time list.

Yuzvendra Chahal's Record: Only Bowler with 4-Wicket Haul in a Single Over in IPL

Punjab Kings vs CSK | IPL 2025 | Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

In a historic spell vs CSK in IPL 2025 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Yuzvendra Chahal took all 4 wickets in a single over (including a hat-trick as the first 3 balls of that over) to finish with figures of 4/32. This made him the only bowler in IPL history to take a four-wicket haul entirely within a single over. PBKS famously defended 111 — the lowest defended total in IPL history — by bowling KKR out for 95.
