IPL 2021 Most Dots: The 14th edition of India’s biggest cricket fest – Indian Premier League (IPL) culminated last night with Chennai Super Kings laying their hands for the 4th time on the coveted trophy. The Yellow Army registered 27 runs victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in Dubai to achieve the feat. While Orange Cap, Purple Cap, Super Striker of the tournament, and many such awards have been in the headlines, there’s one more record that hasn’t made that kind of impact but is impressive in its own way – most dot ball in IPL 2021. While most of you would be thinking of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Harshal Patel, surprisingly it has been bowled by Delhi Capitals’ rising star Avesh Khan.
