In the dynamic arena of the Indian Premier League (IPL), where the battle between bat and ball often defines the outcome of matches, the role of bowlers in controlling the run flow is paramount. In this pursuit, the significance of dot balls cannot be overstated.
Dot balls, deliveries where no runs are scored by the batting team, serve as invaluable currency in this format. They not only frustrate batsmen but also build pressure, leading to rash strokes and wicket-taking opportunities for the bowlers. 
Now, let's take a look at the players with the most dot balls in IPL and in history.
