RCB frontman Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the leader of the wicket-takers’ table, the five three-fors he has this season taking him to 17 wickets, but he has a new No. 2, RR’s Jofra Archer, who has been picking up wickets consistently, and now has 15, the same as SRH’s Eshan Malinga, but with a superior economy rate: 8.62 to 9.16. Bhuvneshwar is tops there too: his economy rate of 7.54 is better than anyone else in the top ten.
