Doug Bollinger, a bowler, played three IPL seasons, all of them with Chennai Super Kings. Two titles came along the way.

The arrival

Doug Bollinger's first IPL season was 2010, with Chennai Super Kings, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 8 matches, 18 runs and 12 wickets at 6.64 an over, and ended with Chennai Super Kings as champions.

The peak

The best season was 2011, for Chennai Super Kings: 17 wickets at 6.98 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.51, with best figures of 3 for 21. Chennai Super Kings won the title that year.

One franchise

Doug Bollinger spent the whole IPL career with Chennai Super Kings, from 2010 to 2012. Chennai Super Kings bought Doug Bollinger at the auction in 2011 for ₹3.15 cr. The club won two titles with Doug Bollinger in the side: 2010 and 2011.

44.1% of the balls Doug Bollinger bowled were dots, a higher share than 98% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 15.6 balls.
