Ravindra Jadeja is an outstanding all-round cricketer and an asset that any cricket captain would like to have in his side. Handy with the bat, electric in the field, and a potent threat with the ball, Jadeja can contribute any time he is on the field. He is famed for his ability to get through his overs at a lightning-quick pace, giving batsmen little to no time to react to his deliveries.

As such, he features at number five on this list of bowlers who have maintained the best economy rates against Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL matches. In 24 matches played against RCB during his time with Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Lions, Kochi Tuskers, and Rajasthan Royals, Jadeja has taken 20 wickets and maintained a respectable economy rate of 7.39, which is a credit in the big-hitting scenario of T20 cricket.

You might have seen RP Singh (or at least heard him) doing commentary on India’s matches these days, but during his playing career, he turned out for Deccan Chargers, Kochi Tuskers, Mumbai Indians, and Rising Pune Supergiants. He played 12 matches against RCB, taking 11 wickets and maintaining an economy rate of 7.38 overall.

Best Economy Rates Against RCB: Harbhajan Singh has had the opportunity to play for two of the most successful teams in IPL history, in Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. During his time with both sides, he has enjoyed a lot of success against Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are among his most favoured opponents.

Bhajji has played RCB 22 times, taking 23 wickets at an economy rate of 7.23. Known for his ability to outfox the batsman, Harbhajan Singh tries to restrict run-scoring in T20 matches, often forcing the batsman to play a rash shot because of the pressure he has built up by not offering him a run. He will definitely be looking to make strides up this table in 2020!

For the second position on this list of bowlers who have maintained the Best Economy against RCB in IPL matches, we have to jump from a current Chennai Super Kings off-spinner to a former Chennai Super Kings off-spinner. Ravichandran Ashwin was snapped up by the Delhi Capitals even before the player auction for the 2020 IPL season took place, which will now be the fourth IPL franchise he has played for.

Before this, however, Ashwin played for CSK, Kings XI Punjab, and Rising Pune Supergiants, facing RCB on 19 occasions and taking 15 wickets at an economy rate of 6.95. Ashwin will definitely be looking to climb up this list with some of his trademark performances against RCB when he comes up against them while playing for Delhi in the 2020 season!

1. Sunil Narine

Best Economy Rates Against RCB: Sunil Narine rose to prominence in the IPL by bamboozling opposition batsmen with his brand of “mystery spin” which no one seemed to be able to pick. Although the West Indian has run into some trouble based on his bowling action in the past and has not been bowling regularly of late, he has reinvented himself as a more than useful pinch hitter to maintain his value in the team.

In 14 matches against RCB, while playing for KKR, Narine has taken 16 wickets at an economy rate of 6.75, and will definitely be hoping that he will be able to bring out his insane bowling variations against RCB when the two teams meet in the 2020 season of the IPL!
