List of Most Wickets in Last Over (20th) in IPL

Lasith Malinga — 30+ Last-Over (20th) Wickets | All-Time Record

Mumbai Indians | Best Economy in 20th Over | Last-Ball Legend

Lasith Malinga has taken 30+ wickets specifically in the 20th (final) over of IPL innings across his 122-match career with Mumbai Indians — the most by any bowler in this phase. His economy rate in the 20th over across his career is the best of any bowler who has regularly bowled this over — reflecting his extraordinary ability to restrict runs AND take wickets simultaneously in the highest-pressure over of any T20 match. His most famous 20th-over wicket is the last-ball slower yorker dismissing Shardul Thakur in the 2019 IPL final.

Dwayne Bravo — 20+ Last-Over Wickets | CSK's 20th-Over Specialist

CSK | Death-Over Wicket Machine | 102 Death-Over Wickets Total

Dwayne Bravo's 102 death-over wickets (overs 17-20) in IPL history are the most by any bowler in this phase — the only bowler to cross the 100-wicket threshold in the death overs alone. Of these, approximately 20+ came specifically in the final (20th) over, reflecting his role as CSK's most trusted last-over defender across all their title campaigns. His slower ball success rate in the 20th over is the highest of any bowler in IPL history.

Jasprit Bumrah — Best Active Last-Over Bowler | Post-2018 Rate Unmatched

MI | Death-Over Strike Rate 11.7 Since 2018 | Current Gold Standard

Jasprit Bumrah is the best active 20th-over bowler in IPL cricket, with a death-over bowling strike rate of 11.7 since 2018 — the best of any active bowler with 30+ death-over wickets in this period. Since replacing Malinga as MI's primary death-over bowler from 2020, Bumrah's last-over economy has improved consistently each season and he has not conceded more than 14 runs in a 20th over (4 overs) across his career.

Jaydev Unadkat — Maiden Hat-Trick Over (0 Runs, 3 Wickets) | Best Single Last-Over Performance

RPS vs SRH | April 2017 | Only Maiden Hat-Trick Over in IPL History

Jaydev Unadkat's 20th over for Rising Pune Supergiant vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in April 2017 — where he conceded 0 runs and took a hat-trick (Bipul Sharma, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar) to defend 13 off the final over — is the greatest single last-over performance in IPL history. Conceding 0 while taking 3 wickets in a match-deciding 20th over is a feat that has never been replicated in IPL cricket.

Arshdeep Singh — Best Young Last-Over Bowler | Emerging Death Specialist

Punjab Kings | Most Wickets in Death Overs for PBKS Since 2022

Arshdeep Singh has established himself as the best young death-over bowler in IPL cricket from 2022 to 2025, with particular effectiveness in the 20th over. His 76+ wickets include a significant portion in the final over, where his left-arm angle and ability to bowl accurate yorkers make him hard to score off even for the most aggressive batters.
