3 IPL 2025 Indian Bowlers Who Have Never Bowled A No-Ball In Indian Premier League

These are names that would certainly take you by surprise

We are in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and some statistics continue to astound us. On that note, we look at some Indian players from the current edition who have bowled at least 30 overs in the tournament and never bowled a no-ball.


Axar Patel

Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel has played in the IPL since 2014 and is yet to bowl a no-ball in the tournament. He has bowled 150 overs and has never overstepped or bowled a full toss above the waist, showing great control.

The left-arm spinner has picked up 123 wickets in the tournament so far.


Rohit Sharma

Surprised to see Rohit Sharma here? Don't be. His off-spinners were deadly in the initial stages of the IPL, but he has not bowled a full over in the tournament since 2014. He has bowled 56.4 overs in the IPL, picking up 15 wickets, including a hat-trick. 

But he has not bowled a single no-ball yet. Moreover, he is the third-highest run-getter in the IPL after Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan.


Mohsin Khan

While it is common for spinners not to bowl a no-ball, it is extremely difficult for a fast bowler not to overstep or bowl a beamer. Just ask Jasprit Bumrah, who has bowled the most no-balls (32) in the tournament.

Shardul Thakur may have replaced the injured Mohsin Khan in IPL 2025, but he has bowled 81 overs without bowing a single no-ball. The left-arm pacer has picked up 27 wickets in 24 IPL matches so far.
