Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes 30 runs off Karim Janat's over, enters IPL's most expensive overs list
Since its inception in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed some unforgettable batting onslaughts, each more devastating than the other. However, it was Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Harshal Patel and the now-defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala's Prasanth Parameswaran who were at the receiving end of two of the most brutal assaults ever witnessed in IPL cricket matches. Harshal Patel and Prasanth Parameswaran jointly hold the record for the most expensive over in IPL history, with each having conceded 37 runs, almost 10 years apart. Prasanth Parameswaran, playing for Kochi Tuskers Kerala in IPL 2011, had the misfortune of bowling to one Chris Gayle, who was in full flow and took the left-arm seamer to the cleaners in the third over of the innings. The RCB opener, in his signature belligerent style, dispatched Parameswaran for 6, 6 (no-ball), 4, 4, 6, 6, 4 — stacking up 37 runs in the seven-ball over. Gayle's rampage helped RCB chase down Kochi's modest 125-run target with ease, sealing a nine-wicket win. Almost a decade later, in IPL 2021, RCB's Harshal Patel was met with a similar fate while playing against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Bowling the final over of a league stage match, Harshal Patel was subject to a brutal thrashing by Ravindra Jadeja, who unleashed pure carnage. The CSK all-rounder clobbered five sixes, a four, and a double in a seven-ball over that read: 6, 6, 6 (no-ball), 6, 2, 6, 4. Jadeja's fireworks propelled CSK to 191/4, ultimately securing a commanding 69-run victory. Incidentally, Harshal Patel would go on to win the Purple Cap that season with 32 wickets from 15 matches and was also named the Most Valuable Player of the campaign. His haul from that season remains tied with Dwayne Bravo's record for most wickets in a single IPL edition. Karim Janat joins the list after Vaibhav Suryavanshi's onslaught In IPL 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old sensation, smashed Karim Janat for a brutal 30 runs in a single over during an explosive innings. The over went: 6, 4, 4, 6, 4, 6, with a flurry of powerful shots that left everyone, including teammates and fans, in awe. Although not as expensive as the 37-run overs by Harshal Patel and Parameswaran, Karim Janat's 30-run over now finds its place among the most expensive overs in IPL history. Suryavanshi's fearless hitting, at such a young age, has caught the attention of the cricket world, with experts praising his incredible composure and talent under pressure.
