#4 Harbhajan Singh (134 wickets) - Chennai Super Kings

Harbhajan Singh is one of the greatest spin bowlers India has ever produced in all the formats of the game. However, he hasn't been the same effective bowler he once was since the emergence of Ravi Ashwin and has subsequently been out of favour for the last few years.

But he has been a regular feature in the IPL having played for the Mumbai Indians till the 2017 season. The off-spinner was one of the pillars of the team which won the IPL title thrice under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.

Throughout his stint in the IPL, he has been used more as containing bowling as evident from the fact that he has the bowled the maximum dot balls.

Harbhajan is just 16 shy of breaching 150 wicket mark and could achieve the feat in IPL 2019 if given regular chances in the playing eleven.
