This IPL 2024 has been nothing short of a nightmare for the bowlers. Right from conceding the highest scores in the tournament, to managing to give away the most runs in a spell, this tournament has seen it all. On Wednesday, during the DC vs GT encounter, it was the latter, where Gujarat Titans bowler Mohit Sharma gave away 73 runs for no wickets in his four overs.
Most Expensive Spell
Apart from the most expensive spell in the IPL history, Mohit happened to bowl one of the most expensive 20th over in IPL history as well, where Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant punished him for 31 runs. That meant, the southpaw remained unbeaten on 88 from 43 balls. Not just that, he is also only the second bowler in the history of IPL to concede 70 or more runs.
| Bowler | Runs Conceded | Opposition |
| Mohit Sharma | 0/73 | Delhi Capitals |
| Basil Thampi | 0/70 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru |
| Yash Dayal | 0/69 | Kolkata Knight Riders |
| Reece Topley | 1/68 | Sunrisers Hyderabad |
Overall Record
Thampi had given 70 runs for no wickets in 2018 against SRH. The next on the list is Yash Dayal, who ended up giving 69 vs KKR. Once again, this year, Reece Topley conceded 68 vs SRH. As far as the most expensive figures in the 20th over is concerned, Mohit’s 31 is right up there in the list. The record is held by Harshal Patel, who gave away 37 runs for RCB vs CSK.
