Jofra Archer Concedes IPL's Most Expensive Figures

Jofra Archer, playing for Rajasthan Royals, set a record for the most expensive bowling figures in Indian Premier League history, conceding 76 runs in four wicketless overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. This surpasses the previous record of 73 runs by Mohit Sharma in 2024. Archer's expensive spell contributed to Sunrisers Hyderabad posting a massive total of 286/6, the second-highest in IPL history. The onslaught was led by Ishan Kishan, who scored an unbeaten 106 off 47 balls, and Travis Head, who scored 67 off 31. Despite Archer's return to IPL after a break, his performance was marked by relentless aggression from the Sunrisers' batsmen, including contributions from Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Archer's performance has been noted as a significant low point in IPL bowling records.
