From the archives: Highest Wicket Taker from each team in IPL 2010

#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Anil Kumble (17 wickets)

Kumble showed his class in the shortest format as well

The legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble repeated his impressive bowling performance in 2010 IPL. Under his captaincy, RCB had finished as the Runner-up in the second edition in which Kumble had a significant contribution. Once again, it was Kumble’s efforts with the ball that guided RCB into the semi-finals.

Having led the side in 16 outings, he picked 17 wickets at an average of 23.94 which included a four-wicket haul in the third-place face-off against Deccan Chargers in Mumbai. He conceded only 16 runs and got the important wickets of Adam Gilchrist and Dwayne Smith.

As a leg-break bowler, his economy of 6.42 was phenomenal and it was his variations and the extra bounce he created that made a huge difference.

This helped him finish the 2010 season as the second highest wicket-taker for a second consecutive year. This was the last time the world saw him in action as he retired from IPL after this season.
