IPL 2016: 10 best bowlers

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s title triumph was a testament to the fact that bowlers command equal importance in the game, even in the shortest format. Their bowling attack troubled the best of batting line-ups, right till the last match when RCB lost their way in the face of some shrewd bowling. In a format that is projected to be a batsman’s game, these bowlers have managed to consistently trouble the best of batsmen, inspite of short boundaries and broad bats.

Here’s a list of ten top performers with the ball this season:

 

#10 Shane Watson

Watson picked up 20 wickets for the Bangalore franchise

A invaluable all-rounder who recently concluded his international career, Watson was more effective with the ball this time, carrying the weight of a bowling attack that flattered to deceive. He ended with as many as 20 wickets, picking bucket loads of victims in the middle overs.

He was smart with his bowling variations, slipping in the odd yorker or the slower bouncer to add onto his gentle medium pace.
