IPL 2017: Top 5 bowlers with most dot balls

#3 Bhuveneshwar Kumar- 106 dot balls

Bhuveneshwar Kumar has been immaculate with his discipline

No other bowler indicates the importance of dot balls in T20 cricket better than Bhuveneshwar Kumar. The leading wicket taker of IPL 2017, Kumar has remained at the forefront in terms of dot balls. He bowls in the powerplay overs and then comes back to deliver a couple of overs at the death.

On both occasions, he relies on dot balls to create pressure on the batsmen. With the new ball, he focuses on the swing while during death over bowling, he works on variation and lengths.

The fact that this right arm pacer has ample variations in his armoury makes him difficult to handle for the batsmen and this is one of the reasons why he has delivered 100 plus dot balls this season.

This SRH bowler has a dot ball percentage of 36.80 and has picked up 23 wickets so far. The most impressive factor of his bowling is his strike rate which is a phenomenal 12.52.
