10 Bowlers with most dot balls in IPL 8: Economy rate is always considered a secondary yardstick when it comes to analysing bowling performances.

But with T20 Cricket and IPL taking centre-stage, it has become an equally important parameter as the strike rate or bowling average. Dot balls in T20 cricket are considered nothing short of gold. Guys with miserly bowling figures are in high demand especially for the crucial death overs.

Here is the list of the 10 Bowlers with most dot balls in IPL 8:

10. Mohit Sharma &#8211; 80

Mohit Sharma with 80 dot balls in 10 games makes place for himself as one of the most economical bowlers. The Haryana Ranji star has taken his game to a different level after joining the Chennai Super Kings. Known for his slower ones, his unpredictability makes him a perfect option in the end overs.

9. Harbhajan Singh &#8211; 80

The Indian great is in the list with 80 dot balls in 9 matches. He has often played the role of slowing down the rate if the opposition has got off to a flying start. Harbhajan’s guile and flight have given batters a hard time and has pretty much performed the spin bowling duties on his own for the Mumbai Indians.

8. Chris Morris &#8211; 82

The uncapped India pacer finds himself in the list with 84 dot balls in 10 games.  Anureet has paired up excellently with Sandeep Sharma to form a decent pace attack for the Punjab team. Accurate Yorkers and brilliantly disguised slower ones have been his major weapons.
