The first wicket in IPL history was taken by Praveen Kumar of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the very first match of the IPL on April 18, 2008. He dismissed Sourav Ganguly of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
However, the first bowled-out dismissal in IPL history was by Zaheer Khan, who clean-bowled Brendon McCullum during the same match.
