In an embarrassing turn of events, Mohit Sharma, the seasoned bowler for the Gujarat Titans, found himself at the center of unwanted attention during a recent IPL match against the Delhi Capitals after he leaked 73 runs in his four overs quota to register the most expensive spell of the league's history.

Mohit attains unwanted record

Delhi Capitals unleashed proper carnage over Gujarat Titans earlier today at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Batting first, DC lost openers early before captain Rishabh Pant hammered GT's bowling unit with surreal power hitting.

Pant showcased shades of his old vintage form and hit bowlers all over the park. However, the DC captain didn't spare anyone; his special target was Mohit Sharma.

Mohit Sharma was all over the place with his plans and execution of the same. He consistently leaked over 10 runs per over, and for the final over of the first innings, Pant tore into Mohit to slam as many as 31 runs.

After getting hit for four sixes and a four in the 20th over, Mohit Sharma finished his four-over spell with 0/73, which is the most expensive spell in IPL's history.

Mohit Sharma surpassed Basil Thampi's 0/70 runs spell record against RCB to fetch the unwanted and embarrassing record to his name.

Most expensive bowling returns in IPL history

  • 0/73 - Mohit Sharma (GT) vs DC, Delhi, 2024
  • 0/70 - Basil Thampi (SRH) vs RCB, Bengaluru, 2018
  • 0/69 - Yash Dayal (GT) vs KKR, Ahmedabad, 2023
  • 0/68 - Reece Topley (RCB) vs SRH, Bengaluru, 2024

Needless to say, GT paid a hefty price for Mohit's terrible day at the office, as DC finished with a mammoth total of 224 runs.

Rishabh Pant's 43 ball 88 runs inspiring innings propelled DC to a match-winning score, and the hosts are favourites to win, barring a miracle from GT's batting unit.
