Who has the worst economy rate (min 20 matches)?


IPL 2023 Winner

The bowler with the worst economy rate in IPL history (minimum 20 matches played) is:

🥵 Siddharth Kaul – Economy Rate: 9.10

  • Matches: 55

  • Wickets: 58

  • Best Bowling: 4/29

  • Teams: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS)

  • Why it's notable:

    • Despite having a decent wicket tally, Kaul’s tendency to leak runs—especially at the death—has pushed his economy rate above 9, making it one of the worst among regular bowlers with 20+ appearances.

Other Notable High Economy Rates (Min. 20 Matches):

Bowler Economy Rate Matches Team(s)
Shivam Dube 9.06 35 RCB, CSK
Ben Cutting 9.00 21 SRH, MI
Tom Curran 9.25 20 KKR, RR, DC
Jaydev Unadkat 8.94 91 RR, MI, DC, others

⚠️ Why Economy Rate Matters:

In T20 cricket, economy rate (runs conceded per over) is often just as important as wickets. High economy rates can turn matches, especially in close contests, making it a key stat to monitor for bowlers.
