Rajasthan Royals off-spinner Ravinchandran Ashwin became the 8th bowlers and only the second off-spinner in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL) to complete 150 wickets after Harbhajan Singh. Ashwin picked up 3/17 against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday (April 26), which included wickets of Rajat Patidar, Shahbaz Ahmed and Suyash Prabhudesai.
Ashwin had taken 149 wickets before the match against RCB and needed just one more wicket to achieve the feat of 150 scalps. Ashwin joined his fellow Indian off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh, who has exactly 150 wickets in the T20 league.
After Tuesday’s match, Ashwin has 152 wickets in 175 games at an average of 28.04 and an economy rate of 6.93. This season, Ashwin has taken 7 wickets from 8 matches including a best of 3/17 in the last match. His teammate Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker of IPL 2022 with 18 wickets from 8 games so far.
