With the Impact Player Rule, teams can now afford specialists for the new ball. In this regard, powerplay plays an important role. Here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best powerplay bowling attack in IPL 2026.
If teams can pick two wickets in the power play, they would have done well to win half the game. They just need to maintain the pressure and the win will be theirs.
1) Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB did a good job by getting Jacob Duffy into the side. He serves as the backup for Josh Hazlewood, and at the same time, he can play alongside the Aussie. Bhuvi is also there to add depth in this department.
2) Mumbai Indians are one of the teams with the best powerplay bowling attack in IPL 2026
In Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah, MI can do really well in the powerplay. Hardik Pandya is also someone who can perform well with the new ball. Hence, MI is on this list.
3) Gujarat Titans
It is a close competition between the Gujarat Titans and the Punjab Kings. However, the experience of Siraj, Rabada and Ishant make GT appear on this list ahead of PBKS. GT did well in the powerplay last season and will look to maintain it in the upcoming season.
