The TATA IPL 2025, also known as the 2025 Indian Premier League, will be the 18th edition of the tournament. While many bowlers in the IPL have delivered maiden overs, some have also conceded a high number of runs in a single innings.
In the IPL, conceding the most runs in an innings is an unwanted record for bowlers, often reflecting a tough day on the field. This happens when batters dominate the game, taking advantage of pitch conditions and aggressive play. The league has also witnessed record-breaking performances—both good and bad. One such instance was Mohit Sharma’s record for conceding the most runs in an IPL innings. In IPL 2024, during a match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans, Mohit gave away 73 runs in four overs, the highest in the tournament’s history. He struggled against Rishabh Pant, who smashed him for seven sixes and three fours.
