Dwayne Bravo equals Lasith Malinga’s all-time record for most IPL wickets

By Aman Shukla

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 started off on Saturday evening with a match between Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders. Ravindra Jadeja’s CSK might have suffered a defeat, yet all-rounder Dwayne Bravo managed to equal Lasith Malinga’s big record in the tournament and the T20 World Cup-winning all-rounder is only another wicket away from becoming the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. Bravo managed to take three wickets against KKR however it was not enough for CSK to win the game.

The former West Indies all-rounder equalled Malinga’s tally in his 151st match in the IPL. Malinga had finished his career for Mumbai Indians in the wake of taking 170 wickets from 122 matches.

Malinga is now the fast-bowling coach of the Rajasthan Royals.

KKR will next play against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Wednesday while CSK will square off against Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday.
