Most Runs Conceded By A Bowler In IPL

IPL is a tournament that is full of entertainment, thrill, and passion. Since the inception of IPL in 2008, 17 seasons have been played. IPL is a tournament where plenty of records have been created, mostly by the batters. Due to batting-friendly wickets in IPL, the bowler’s margin of error is less and they entirely rely on their skills. A bowler always wants to do well for his team but sometimes things do not go their way and the batters hammer them ruthlessly. In this article, we will take you through the list of most runs conceded by a bowler in IPL.

Basil Thampi holds the unwanted record for the most runs conceded by a bowler in the IPL. He went for 70 runs in his spell of four overs against RCB in the 2018 edition for SRH. Due to his poor spell, Bengaluru posted 218/6 in 20 overs and won the game by 14 runs. Thampi was hammered for five 4s and six 6s at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

UP-based bower Yash Dayal has conceded the second most runs in IPL history. This unfortunate moment came during a group game against KKR in the 2023 IPL. The left-arm seamer leaked 69 runs in four overs at a high economy rate of 17.25. KKR needed 29 runs to win and slogger Rinku Singh hit Dayal for five consecutive sixes in the last over and won the game for the visitors in Ahmedabad from the jaws of defeat.

English fast bowler Reece Topley is a new addition to this bizarre list of the most runs conceded by a bowler in the IPL. SRH batters went berserk on him during their group clash in the 2024 IPL at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and clobbered him for six 4s and five 6s. Topley leaked 68 runs in his allotted four overs and took 1 wicket. SRH recorded the highest-ever total in the match, 287/3, registering a triumph by 25 runs.
