Separate stat - not just about IPL 2025, but about Super overs in IPL overall.

 

Super-overs generally tend to favor teams batting second in the super-over. Teams batting first have no idea what is a good target for a 1-over contest, and tend to go too hard and lose wickets.

 

16 superovers in IPL so far (including the tied super over)

 

5 Won by team batting first in super-over 

10 Won by team batting second in super-over 

1 was tied.

 

Lessons for chasing teams in IPL - you are better of finishing off your chase rather than dragging it to super over and batting first there

King is everywhere ...a true legend 

 

Pant unfortunately is not giving a good picture. Almost 50% of his deliveries were dot balls

Another notable thing is Buttler/Sai/Gill all three have 30 or less dot ball percentage.  GT's top 3 batsmen. Their constant strike rotation have enabled them to be consistent.

T20 and more so IPL in last couple of years its about boundary %, 

S.Iyer and arya sits at goldilocks zone boundary - dot % is ~5/5+  v.ggod, salt looks like hits 6 and plays dots  same thing for pooran its 6 or dot.

And to be a +impact batter the boundary % should be above 25, dube is not able to hit 4/6 this season

 

looks like jaiswal, kilhi and kl have -ve impact.

Pant is his own space. if there was a batter who was playing properly for lsg at that position they might be getting 230+ every match

Ofcourse boundary percentage trumps everything. But dot ball percentage plays an indirect role in leading to dismissals quiet often. More often than not it leads to some low percentage shot. So the balance has to be there. Protecting your wicket and also maintaining strike rate requires you to be good at both. GUys like Priyansh Arya, Pooran even though have 34% dot ball perecntage their high boundary percentage overcome that deficiency comfortably. THe strike rate is the indicator.  Both over 200.

Here you go. Boundary percentage/ Dot ball percentage.   Shreyas Iyer stands out in both areas. Amazing stat this is.

One very interesting observation - the big 6 hitters like Arya, Abhishek, Head, Pooran, Salt etc. all have both the Boundary and Dot %ge over 30%. That shows that if you are a frequent 6 hitter, you can afford to play a few dots. But if your game isn't built to hit big, you need to lower your Dot %ge like Iyer or surprisingly Rahul. Looks like Rahul finally understood the significance of SR and why it's not overrated!

 

Iyer stands out due to hit high boundary %ge of near 30 and a low Dot %ge of 23%. Shows he's a class apart and probably the best middle order batter. Needs to be in the Indian team and also get the captaincy.

Batters who deal in 4/6 have larger percent of dots because of some swing and misses , some of their shots go to fielders. 

Taking a single or hitting a boundary is mindset thing, if a batter is tuned to take single they are not going to shape up to hit 4/6 , the 4s/6s only come for them when its a bad ball or they have made the mind that they need 4/6 now.

 

Higher percent of boundary and dot ball along with v.good sr means batter is capable 6 hitter. A six hitter off-sets a lot of thing in their favour. 

As a good t20 batter the boundary - dot % should be 4 or plus , S.Iyer is kind of goldilocks zone where he is not taking alot of dot balls and still have 4+ boundary - dot %.

Meaning he is also rotating strike not depriving the other batter of strike and also his boundary % 25+ .

Would be instresting to know what an intnl batter think what should be their personal score per 10 balls 

 

KL's boundary % is still low, but he has to play with good sr now as he is not the captain and team is not build around him he needs to perform to stay (not that they are going to drop him ) all the resources are not drawn towards him. As a captain he can bat as he pleases and set-up the team accordingly ,plus now there is pressure on each team to get atleast 200 score so he has to bat with some sr if he is not doing it then some1 else has to do it for dc.
