Most dot balls in IPL 2021: Who has bowled maximum number of dot balls in Indian Premier League 2021?

Most dot balls in IPL 2021: Seven fast bowlers and three spinners are among the Top 10 bowlers with most dot balls in IPL 2021.

There is no hiding to the fact that bowlers have dominated the batters in the ongoing second leg of the 14th season of the Indian Premier League. Pitches at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Dubai International Cricket Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Stadium have been on the slower side which has made shot-making a tough job.

A total of seven fast bowlers and three spinners are among the Top 10 bowlers with most dot balls in IPL 2021. Although nothing can be compared to wickets in other formats, T20 is an exception where a dot ball has it in it to hold more importance than a wicket on multiple occasions.

While two bowlers each from defending champions Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders are in this list, there isn’t any bowler from Rajasthan Royals.

Barring Bangalore pacer Harshal Patel, Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh, Royals all-rounder Chris Morris and MI spinner Rahul Chahar, all other bowlers from the Top 10 highest wicket-takers are also among the bowlers with most dot balls this season.

Mumbai pacer-duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, Sunrisers Hyderabad spinner Rashid Khan and Punjab Kings pacer Mohammed Shami are the bowlers who had featured in the same list (dot balls) last season as well.

Having written more than 10,000 articles across more than five years at TSR, his first cricketing memory dates back to 2002 when former India captain Sourav Ganguly had waved his jersey at the historic Lord’s balcony. What followed for an 8-year-old was an instant adulation for both Ganguly and the sport. The optimist in him is waiting for the day when Punjab Kings will win their maiden Indian Premier League title. When not watching cricket, he is mostly found in a cinema hall watching a Punjabi movie.
