Top Wicket Takers:
The IPL 2008 season saw Rajasthan royals dominating all through the series. Quite apparent by the fact that along with batsmen dominating the list in IPL 2008 batting statistics the bowlers also took the series by storm. The top wicket takers of IPL 2008 has Sohail Tanvir at the bottom (well just in the graph) with a maximum of 22 wickets. The second spot is shared by Sreeshanth and Warne and then we have several closely competing players as shown by the density of blue lines in Graph.
Economy and Wickets/match:
Well, taking a look at the economy perspective, Sohail Tanvir emerges out the winners in that stat too! With the best economy Sohail Tanvir tops the economy list too. An interesting thing could have been here is whether the total number of wickets taken is influenced by more number of matches played. Well to answer that question, the blue bars with wicket per match shows that Sohail Tanvir deservedly topped the list, as he averaged 2 wickets per match. A fresh ranking here has been done based on the average wickets per match. However, the ranking statistics is not much different from the ranking in highest wicket taker stats.
Best Bowling figures:
No prizes for guessing that. Sohail Tanvir who has topped the top two stats phenomenally makes way to top here also. However, it’s not just one, but two entries in the top ten best bowling figures stats. The “longer” blue bars represent runs and the shorter red bars represent the wickets taken.The top ten best bowling figure stats have 3 Pakistani bowlers. One thing that becomes apparent here is the contribution of Pakistani bowlers to the bowling dimension of IPL 2008. The cricking community could have got to see them in action this season too had it not been for those bloody terrorist attacks on Lankans!!!
