IPL 2017: Top 5 bowlers with most dot balls

#4 Sandeep Sharma- 102 dot balls

Sandeep Sharma’s swing bowling has bamboozled many a batsman

After registering consistent performances over the last three seasons, Sandeep Sharma has emerged in 2017 as Punjab’s bowling spearhead. His impeccable control over swing has made him a huge threat with the new ball.

Sharma’s ability to move the ball both ways is enough to plant doubts in the minds of batsmen while his accurate line and length have increased his potency.

Although Sandeep has an economy of eight-plus runs per over, he has still managed to deliver 102 dot balls. A bulk of these dot deliveries have come in the powerplay overs and hence Sharma’s performance is highly valuable.

Among the top five bowlers, Sandeep has bowled the least number of balls (253) and perhaps that’s why his dot-ball percentage of 40.1 is the highest among all.
