5 Indians with the most wickets in IPL history

Since the inception of the IPL in 2008, Indian cricketers have been given a platform and opportunity to learn from the best players in the world and express themselves. There have been a number of players who have made a name for themselves in the biggest league in the world.

Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga holds the record for the most number of wickets in IPL history, with 154 scalps in 110 matches, for Mumbai Indians.

Here we take a look at the top five Indian bowlers with the most number of wickets in the tournament's 10-year history.

#5 Ravichandran Ashwin

It's no surprise that the Indian spin wizard Ravi Ashwin makes his way on to this list. Having played a majority of his IPL with Chennai Superkings, he moved to Rising Pune Supergiant for two seasons before being picked up by KXIP. He is the captain of the side and has picked up 106 wickets and counting in the history of the IPL.

The 31-year-old right-arm spinner Ashwin has picked up six wickets in his 10 games with the KXIP this season and has done a good job as captain. The spinner is an experienced campaigner but is not in the reckoning for the purple cap this season.

Ashwin has appeared in more than fifty tests, over hundred ODI's and over forty T20I's for India but is facing stiff competition from Chahal for a spot in the national team.
