Big Hits and Big Regrets: IPL’s Most Conceded 6s in the Final Over
When the pressure is on and the game hangs in the balance, delivering a tight final over is crucial. But for some bowlers, the 20th over of an IPL match has become their Achilles’ heel, resulting in a barrage of big hits from the opposition batsmen. Let’s take a look at the top bowlers who’ve unfortunately found themselves on the receiving end of some serious punishment:
1. Dwayne Bravo – 30 Sixes Conceded (58.3 overs)
Known for his all-round skills, Dwayne Bravo’s bowling prowess couldn’t shield him from being at the receiving end of the most sixes in the final over. Despite his experience, Bravo has struggled to contain the onslaught of big hits when entrusted with the last over duties.
2. Harshal Patel – 25 Sixes Conceded (27.4 overs)
Harshal Patel’s bowling spell has been a rollercoaster ride in the IPL, especially during the final over. With a tally of 25 sixes conceded in just 27.4 overs, Patel has faced the daunting task of defending runs in the death overs, often finding himself unable to stem the flow of boundaries.
3. Umesh Yadav – 22 Sixes Conceded (29.0 overs)
Umesh Yadav, known for his pace and swing, has also struggled to keep the ball out of the stands during the closing stages of an innings. Despite his fiery deliveries, Yadav has been vulnerable to big hits, with 22 sixes conceded in his 29 overs bowled in the final over.
4. Vinay Kumar – 20 Sixes Conceded (35.3 overs)
Vinay Kumar’s bowling stint in the IPL has been marked by moments of brilliance and moments to forget, particularly in the final over. Despite his experience, Kumar has found himself on the wrong side of history, conceding 20 sixes in his 35.3 overs bowled in the death overs.
