IPL Records: Harshal Patel and Prasanth Parameswaran Share Unwanted Record for Most Expensive Over
In the high-octane world of the Indian Premier League (IPL), where explosive batting is commonplace, two bowlers, Harshal Patel and Prasanth Parameswaran, find themselves in an undesirable tie: conceding the most runs in a single over. Both bowlers were hammered for a record-equaling 37 runs.
Prasanth Parameswaran, playing for the now-defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala, first endured this fate in 2011. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Chris Gayle unleashed a brutal assault, smashing him for 37 runs in a single over.The over included multiple sixes and fours, powering RCB to a dominant victory.
Nearly a decade later, in IPL 2021, RCB’s Harshal Patel suffered a similar onslaught against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Ravindra Jadeja, in blistering form, hammered Patel for five sixes, a four, and a double in the final over of the innings, matching the unwanted record. This explosive over propelled CSK to a formidable total and a commanding win.
in the 2011 match, Gayle’s rampage enabled RCB to chase down Kochi’s target of 125 runs with nine wickets to spare.In the 2021 match, Jadeja’s fireworks helped CSK reach 191/4 and secure a 69-run victory.
Ironically, Harshal Patel went on to win the Purple cap in the same season, taking 32 wickets in 15 matches and earning the title of Most Valuable Player. His performance equaled Dwayne Bravo’s record of 32 wickets in a single IPL season.
