The Indian Premier League is a tournament that has played a huge role in dictating how the shortest format of the game is to be played, making it a brilliant contest between bat and ball. With T20 cricket being all about aggression and entertainment, batters often dominate with their attacking shots. However, bowlers play an equally important role in deciding the outcome of matches. While many cricketers believe that, 'Batters win you games, while the bowlers win you tournaments.
Bowling a maiden over in T20 cricket is no easy feat. With field restrictions in the powerplay, flat pitches, and big-hitting batters ready to make use of any loose delivery, bowling six consecutive dot balls requires skill and consistency. It is a rare feat that not only frustrates the opposition but also puts immense pressure, leading to mistakes from the batting side.
Over the years, there have been some exceptional bowlers in the IPL who have managed to bowl multiple maiden overs. These bowlers have shown their ability to mix up their pace, variations, and lengths to deceive the best of the best batters.
