10 costliest mistakes in IPL history

8) James Faulkner bowling a full toss to Aditya Tare in 2014

This would go down as one of the biggest brain-fade moments of all time. This tiny error by the Aussie all-rounder ensured that even Rahul Dravid had to lose his cool in front of the entire world. This happened against MI in 2014.

In a battle for the playoff spot, cricket fans witnessed arguably one of the greatest T20 matches of all time. MI had to chase 190 runs in just the 14.3 balls. While Rohit Sharma’s men scored 189 runs in 14.3 balls, both the teams were later told that MI could still qualify for the playoffs if they were to hit a boundary in the next ball.

James Faulkner, who was considered to be a superb death bowler back then ended up bowling a full toss to Aditya Tare who hit the ball for a huge six. This went down as one of the most iconic moments in IPL history and one for the RR fans to forget. Who knows what would have happened if Faulkner hadn’t bowled a full toss and had a better delivery at his disposal at that moment.
