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.

ENG vs IND 1st Test: Record says Rishabh Pant is now a better wicketkeeper-batter than MS Dhoni in SENA countries
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 21, 2025, 10:34 IST Rishabh Pant etched his name in the history books on Day 1 of the IND vs ENG 1st Test at Headingley by surpassing MS Dhoni to become the most successful Indian wicketkeeper-batter in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) conditions. The Indian vice-captain remained unbeaten on 65* at stumps, guiding India to a commanding 359/3 alongside skipper Shubman Gill. Pant needed just 50 runs to go past Dhoni's tally of 1,731 runs in SENA nations and did so in his trademark attacking style. His knock, laced with six boundaries and two sixes, marked his fourth half-century in England and solidified his reputation as a top performer in overseas Tests. The southpaw also became only the fourth Indian wicketkeeper to cross 3,000 runs in Test cricket, joining the elite club that includes Farokh Engineer, Syed Kirmani, and Dhoni. Pant now also holds the record for the most runs by an Asian keeper-batter in SENA countries. Pant, who currently has six centuries in Test cricket — the same as Dhoni — will resume Day 2 with an eye on claiming the record for most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper. ENG vs IND 1st Test – Day 1 recap: India dominated England with a solid top-order performance. Jaiswal set the tone with a century, followed by a 91-run opening stand with KL Rahul, who fell for 42 just before Lunch. Debutant Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for a duck, but Shubman Gill (127*) and Rishabh Pant (65*) added an unbeaten 130-run stand to take India to 359/3 at stumps.

ENG vs IND 1st Test: Rishabh Pant completes 3000 Test runs in 76 innings, joins elite club of wicketkeeper-batters
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 20, 2025, 22:48 IST India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant added yet another feather to his cap during the ongoing first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. Pant reached the landmark of 3000 Test runs during his gritty knock on Day 1, becoming only the fifth Indian wicketkeeper to achieve the feat. He got to the milestone in just 76 innings — second-fastest among all keepers after Australia's Adam Gilchrist, who took only 63 innings. Pant got to the landmark with a boundary off Chris Woakes in the 81st over. He reached his half-century shortly after in 93 balls, continuing his brilliant Test comeback. Here's the updated list of wicketkeepers with most Test runs: MS Dhoni – 4,876 runs in 90 Tests Mushfiqur Rahim – 3,515 runs in 55 Tests Kumar Sangakkara – 3,117 runs in 48 Tests (as WK) Sarfaraz Ahmed – 3,031 runs in 54 Tests Rishabh Pant – 3,001+ runs in 44 Tests* Pant had entered the match with 2,948 runs and needed just 52 to cross 3000 — a target he reached with ease. Current Match Update At the time of reaching his milestone, Pant was unbeaten on 53 off 93 balls, alongside skipper Shubman Gill, who was batting on 119*. India stood strong at 338/3 in 80.5 overs, riding on a commanding 117-run partnership between the two. The solid platform puts India in a commanding position after England chose to field first at the toss. With Pant now surpassing Sarfaraz and eyeing Sangakkara's mark, this Test series could prove to be a defining stretch in his red-ball career.

The match may have been two hours shorter than his five-set French Open final win over Jannik Sinner earlier this month but the five-time grand slam champion suffered as temperatures soared to 32C.

'There's always a different buzz coming up against India and Australia in particular, purely because of how big those series are,' he says. 'Away from the dressing room, we know what these series mean compared to other ones. But defining a career as England captain isn't something that I really think about.
