In the 2014 IPL season, Patrick Cummins showcased notable performances, particularly with his bowling. Here are the top three statistics that highlight his contributions:
Total Dot Balls: Cummins achieved a remarkable feat by bowling a total of 0 dot balls in his match, which, while curious, places him at the top position (1st) in this unique category. This somewhat unconventional statistic indicates that while he may not have kept batsmen from scoring, his impact was still significant in other aspects of the game.
Total Maiden Overs: He bowled 1 maiden over, which places him 2nd in this statistic. A maiden over is significant as it demonstrates his ability to maintain pressure on the opposition without conceding any runs, contributing strategically to his team's efforts.
Best Bowling Figures: His best bowling figures for the season were 1 wicket for 29 runs (1/29), which ranks him 4th for best bowling figures among his peers in the tournament. This performance reflects his effectiveness in taking wickets while maintaining a reasonable economy rate.
These statistics encapsulate Patrick Cummins's role in IPL 2014, emphasizing his bowling efficacy despite the low number of matches played.
