Most Dot Balls in IPL Innings
Most Dot Balls in IPL Innings is a defining metric of a bowler's ability to exert absolute control and create a "chokehold" over the batters in a high-pressure T20 environment. In a standard 4-over (24-ball) spell, a high dot ball count signifies elite tactical precision and mastery over line and length.
The all-time record is held by Deepak Chahar, who delivered an incredible 20 dot balls in his 4 overs for CSK against KKR in 2019, leaving only 4 scoring deliveries in his entire spell. He is followed by Munaf Patel, who bowled 19 dot balls in 2009. This record highlights the strategic brilliance of "economic" bowling, where a single individual can starve the opposition of runs and force high-risk errors through sheer consistency.
