What do you think is the maximum number of runs scored in a single over in IPL?
Hitting a big six or a crisp boundary has been done many times, but doing it again and again in one particular over requires some doing. It demoralises the bowler and the opposition and ensures that the batting team has the momentum.
So far over 17 times 30 or more runs have been scored in a single over in the IPL history.
Listed below are the top 10 most expensive overs in the IPL.
