5 days, 7 Matches done. It has been a good 5 days of IPL season 7. There are players who have performed extremely well and there are also players who haven’t performed according to their standar. Let’s take a look at Top wicket takers after the first five days of Indian Premier League.
Here is a list of Top 10 Wicket takers in IPL – 7:
| Player Name | Matches | Innings | Overs | Runs | Wickets | Best Bowling Innings | Economy | |
| 1 | Sunil Narine (KKR) | 2 | 2 | 8.0 | 38 | 5 | 4/20 | 4.75 |
| 2 | Lasith Malinga (MI) | 2 | 2 | 7.3 | 52 | 5 | 4/23 | 6.93 |
| 3 | Yuzvendra Chahal (RCB) | 2 | 2 | 8.0 | 35 | 3 | 2/17 | 4.37 |
| 4 | Zaheer Khan (MI) | 2 | 2 | 8.0 | 44 | 3 | 2/21 | 5.50 |
| 5 | Varun Aaron (RCB) | 2 | 2 | 7.0 | 39 | 3 | 2/30 | 5.57 |
| 6 | Mitchell Starc (RCB) | 2 | 2 | 8.0 | 54 | 3 | 2/21 | 6.75 |
| 7 | Morne Morkel (KKR) | 2 | 2 | 8.0 | 57 | 3 | 2/41 | 7.12 |

| 10 | Amit Mishra (SRH) | 1 | 1 | 4.0 | 26 | 2 | 2/26 | 6.50 |
Without any doubt, the players expected to the top list are on the top i.e Sunil Narine and Lasith Malinga. It will be close competition between both these players as to who will hang on to the top position till the end of the competition. It is also good to see likes of Yuzvendra Chahal to make it to the list.
It is shocking to see that except Ajinkya Rahane and Amit Mishra, no other player from the present Indian cricket team that played the recent T20 World Cup held in Bangaladesh is part of this list.
