Although LSG and GT are new to the IPL they have not held back but rather top the points table leaving behind experienced teams. RR on the other hand has been inconsistent for many years but this season they look totally different. All three teams follow a similar approach in their style of play. Lets look at them below.
Opening Spells.
The PP bowling of all three teams looks pretty much similar with M.Shami taking 8 wickets at @19.37, D.Chameera taking 6 wickets at @22.16, and P.Krishna taking 7 wickets at @18.85. They have been picking up a wicket in the PP every match which has halted the opposition players from taking them on. Each of the above teams operates with 5 specialist bowlers.
Most numbers of dot balls bowled.
P.Krishna - 117
M.Shami - 100
T.Boult - 93
Y.Chahal - 89
Batting approach.
With 5 specialist bowlers, they can only play with 6 batters making the batting department look thin. But they have taken a different approach by playing around with a single batter. Jos Buttler led the batting chart with 588 runs followed by KL Rahul with 451 and Pandya with 308 runs.
Most dot balls played.
Buttler - 158
KL Rahul - 94.
Among the most dot balls played Buttler and Rahul have played the most number hanging around till the end. This has ensured they take the game deep and score a large number of runs.
Death batting.
David Miller and Tewatia have been the standout as far as GT is concerned. Tewatia in particular has an avg of 43 and an SR of 204.76 in the death overs.
Hetmyer on the other hand averages 92.50 with an SR of 215.11.
