Most Expensive Spell In IPL History

Jofra Archer is the most expensive spell in IPL history.

English fast bowler Jofra Archer, representing Rajasthan Royals in the 2025 IPL, bowled the most expensive spell in IPL history during their clash against Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. He conceded a staggering 76 runs in four overs as Travis Head and Ishan Kishan unleashed a brutal onslaught.

Former Indian pacer Mohit Sharma ranks second on this unfortunate list, conceding 73 runs against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, and Tristan Stubbs capitalized on his off day, making it a forgettable outing.

Third on the list is Basil Thampi. Representing Hyderabad in 2018, the Kerala pacer was taken apart by RCB’s batting lineup—featuring AB de Villiers, Moeen Ali, and Colin de Grandhomme—at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, conceding 70 runs in his four-over spell.
