Top 5 most expensive first over in IPL History
KKR skipper Nitish Rana made his place in this unceremonious list after leaking 26 runs in the first over against Yashasvi Jaiswal.
3. Shivam Mavi (KKR) | 25 runs | KKR vs DC, 2021
In 2021, during a clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals, Shivam Mavi recorded one of the worst overs in the history of the league. After putting a total of 154 runs in their stipulated 20 overs, Eoin Morgan-led KKR needed to get the early breakthroughs to remain steady in the contest.
However, Delhi’s Prithvi Shaw seemed to have other ideas as he breathed fire during the first over of the chase against Mavi. After bowling a wide in the first ball, young Shaw responded with as many as six boundaries on the trot (wd, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4) to conclude with 25 runs off the over.
As the pressure was immediately on KKR, skipper Morgan sidelined Mavi from the attack with his solitary over. Impressively, Shaw hit one of the fastest half-centuries in the league, notching it in just 18 balls and concluding his innings with a 41-ball 82 which featured 11 fours and three sixes at a solid strike rate of 200.00.
