Jofra Archer scripted history during Rajasthan Royals’ clash against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, claiming three wickets, thus becoming the franchise’s all-time leading wicket-taker. With 68 wickets, he surpassed Shane Watson’s previous record of 67 wickets.

The Mumbai Indians spearhead is only the second bowler after Lasith Malinga to take 150+ wickets for a single franchise Mumbai, underlining his long-term impact and consistency.Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, with 225 wickets in 180 matches.
