3 most expensive overs in IPL history

While it looks easy for a batter hit different bowlers in a game, it is difficult to hit one particular bowler for humongous runs in one single over. One bowler, two batters, and six deliveries can turn the fate of a game. When such a scenario is witnessed in the game, the players and the viewers go through plenty of emotions. Over the course of its 15 seasons, the Indian Premier League has seen some of the most destructive batting displays. Let us have a look at the 3 most expensive overs in IPL history.

35 runs by Daniel Sams vs KKR in 2022

Australian cricketer Pat Cummins stunned the cricketing world by crushing Mumbai Indians’ bowling unit, securing a stunning victory for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Daniel Sams, the MI pacer, was particularly targeted by Cummins’ masterclass as he smashed three sixes and two fours as the over that also included a no-ball. He hit his half-century in 14 deliveries, matching KL Rahul’s record for the quickest fifty in IPL history.

37 runs by Prasanth Parameswaran vs RCB in 2011

Caribbean batter Chris Gayle created a record in the 2011 IPL while playing for the RCB against the Kochi Tuskers when he smashed Prasanth Parameswaran for 37 runs in the third over of the game. Gayle hit Parameswaran for two sixes in the first two deliveries, followed by two fours, and then two more sixes and a four to end the over as one of the maximums came off a no-ball.

37 runs by Harshal Patel vs CSK in 2021

CSK’s Ravindra Jadeja smacked destructed Harshal Patel’s economy in the game while playing against RCB in IPL 2021. CSK had a mediocre total from the game, but Jadeja took on Patel in the final over of the innings and hit him for 36 runs and the additional run came off the no-ball taking the tally to 37. He smashed four sixes consecutively off the first four balls of the over, one of which accounted for a no-ball, ran two runs, hit another six, and ended the over with four.
