Teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) routinely score enormous sums in the 20-over format, making the league famous for its high-scoring games. In an effort to overpower the bowlers and amuse the crowd, batters frequently use a string of sixes to propel these high scores.

However, teams can have trouble with tight bowling, which leads to more dot balls and a lower scoring rate. The increased amount of dot balls faced during the game may therefore cause franchises to perceive a decline in their run pace.

Let’s now examine the top three teams in the IPL 2025 who have smashed the most sixes and the top three teams that have encountered the most dot balls thus far.

Teams with most sixes

The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed several players showcasing fearless and explosive batting performances. As a result, Rajasthan Royals (RR) lead the chart for the most sixes hit so far this season, a total of 123 sixes. They are followed by Punjab Kings (PBKS) with 114 sixes, while Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) stand third with 111 sixes which highlights the aggressive batting approach.

Teams with most dot balls faced

The 2025 edition of the IPL has featured several tightly contested matches as well, with teams struggling to make an impact due to a high number of dot balls faced, thus building pressure. The five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are leading the chart on this front, facing 478 dot balls so far. They are followed by the 2008 champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) with 475 dot balls, while the Mumbai Indians (MI) hold third place by having faced 451 dot balls. These numbers showcase the disciplined bowling efforts from opposing teams throughout the tournament.
