Bowlers with Best Economy Rates Against SRH in IPL
5. Ajit Chandila
Starting off this list of bowlers with the Best Economy Rates Against SRH in IPL matches is the former Rajasthan Royals off-spinner Ajit Chandila. The man from Haryana had a promising start to his IPL career before getting embroiled in a match-fixing scandal that saw his career cut short abruptly.
However, he did manage to play one match for Rajasthan Royals against SRH where he bowled three overs and took 2/13, ending up with a career economy rate of 4.33 against SRH.

1. Brad Hodge
Taking the top spot on this list of bowlers with the Best Economy Rates Against SRH in IPL matches is a name no one would have expected to see on a list of the best bowling performances of any kind. The Australian cricket Brad Hodge was known primarily for his batting when he played and only turned his arm over occasionally.
Even so, T20 cricket was never the format where he bowled the most, as he was mostly seen bowling in Test cricket to give some of the bowlers a break, or at most in an ODI to sneak a couple of overs in. However, Hodge’s gentle off-spinners propel him to the top of this list. Although he played 4 times against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Hodge only bowled one over against them, which went for 3 runs and gave him a career economy rate of 3.0 against them!
