IPL 2025: Teams with most sixes vs teams struggling with dot balls

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is known for its high-scoring matches, with teams consistently setting massive totals in the 20-over format. These explosive scores are often powered by a bunch of sixes, as batters aim to dominate the bowlers and entertain the crowd.

On the other hand, sometimes teams struggle against tight bowling which results in more dot balls and a restricted scoring rate. As a result, franchises may see a drop in their run rate due to the high number of dot balls faced during the match.

Here, let us take a look at the top three teams with the most sixes hit and the top three teams that have faced the most dot balls in IPL 2025 so far.
