Bhuvneshwar Kumar has enjoyed an excellent campaign for RCB, combining swing, slower balls, and death-over precision to maintain one of the best economy rates this season.
4. Anshul Kamboj (CSK)
- Economy Rate: 7.54
- Overs: 36

Anshul Kamboj has emerged as one of CSK’s breakout stars in IPL 2026. His consistency in both the powerplay and death overs has made him one of the league’s most reliable pacers.
