Most Maiden Overs Against DC
Just like everyone knows that bowlers have to give their 200% if they want to be successful in the game. And if it is T20 cricket, then they would need to have some luck on their sides too. But once in a while, a bowler comes into the attack and completely snatches away the game from the hand of the batsmen. The most valuable thing in T20 cricket is a “maiden over.” Where people see balls flying over the boundary ropes on most of the balls bowled in an over, these bowlers came out and bowled a maiden over.
Top 5 Bowlers with Most Maiden Overs Against DC
Let us take a look at bowlers who have bowled most numbers of maiden overs against Delhi Capitals. But one thing that should be noted that all the five bowlers in the list have bowled 2 maiden overs each against Delhi in IPL, but we are going to list them with lowest averages they possess against Delhi.
Here are the Top 5 Highest Number of Maiden Against DC in IPL:
#5. Dhawal Kulkarni (2 maidens, Average – 29.53)
The veteran from Mumbai has been always one of the most exciting talents since he started his professional career. He made a promising start to his domestic circuit with Mumbai and still continues to impress with impeccable bowling skills, but was rather unfortunate at the international level. But he made his name by making numerous appearances in the Indian Premier League.
With a total of 45.5 overs bowled by Kulkarni, the right-arm seamer has bowled 2 maidens against Delhi and as a whole he has 8 maidens to his name in the IPL, making him the third bowler to bowl the most number of the maiden in the league.

Highest Number of Maiden Against DC: One of the only four bowlers to take 150 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Piyush Chawla has always been consistent in the tournament. He keeps on taking wickets regularly and is an asset to whichever team he is representing. In 68.1 overs bowled against Delhi Capitals, Chawla bowled 2 maidens with an average of 25.90.
Interestingly, those two overs are the only two maiden overs he has managed to bowl in the tournament’s history. He would surely want to take that number up in the upcoming edition.
