IPL Stats: Most dot balls bowled in IPL history

#2 Praveen Kumar – 1075

Praveen Kumar was one of the best exponents of the moving ball. He was a master when the ball swung and could move the ball both ways. He was a part of the IPL for 10 years and he represented five teams in the process. He played for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kings XI Punjab, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Lions.

Praveen Kumar has bowled 1075 dot balls in his IPL career which is the second most in the history of the tournament. In fact, in this list, he is the bowler who has bowled the least number of overs (420.4 overs). He also holds the record for the most maiden overs (14) in the IPL.

#1 Harbhajan Singh – 1128

Harbhajan Singh has bowled the most number of overs (518.2) in the history of the IPL and also has registered the most number of dot balls (1128). The Punjab off-spinner has been one of the most successful bowlers in this league.

He is the fifth leading wicket-taker (134 wickets) and has consistently delivered for his team. He played for Mumbai Indians in the first 10 seasons before he was bought by Chennai Super Kings in the 2018 auctions. However, he hasn’t been at his best in the last few years and hasn’t picked a lot of wickets but still has managed to keep things tight.
