However, Venkatesh Iyer of the Kolkata Knight Riders holds the record for the most expensive over, having given away 28 runs against Delhi Capitals.
Mukesh Choudhary concedes 27 runs in an over during SRH vs CSK
When Mukesh took the ball in the second over against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Abhishek Sharma capitalized on his deliveries. Initially, Sharma lofted a fuller delivery straight for a boundary, setting the tone for the over. Mukesh attempted variations, but Sharma managed to exploit the length, hitting a six and a four. The over included a no-ball, which Sharma punished with another six. Remarkably, Sharma single-handedly accumulated all 27 runs off Mukesh’s over.
