Top 3 bowlers with most dot balls in IPL history

In a showpiece event like the Indian Premier League, it is crucial to have bowlers on your side who can at least control the flow of runs in the T20 leagues. Batting sides generally accelerate their innings in the death overs of the game and have a high scoring rate, especially in the powerplays.

However, in the middle overs of the game, it is seen that the sides are extremely cautious in their tactical skills and pragmatic approach and focus on stabilizing the innings of the game, where the bowlers play a crucial role in dismantling the batting line-up of the team. In this article, we will be discussing the top three bowlers who have bowled the greatest number of dot balls in IPL history.

1. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
