Jofra Archer concedes 76 runs in four overs to record IPL’s most expensive spell
Archer suffered at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad trio of Travis Head, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen.
England paceman Jofra Archer recorded the most expensive spell in Indian Premier League history after being smashed for 76 in his four overs.
Mohit Sharma held the previous IPL record of 73, from last year, but Archer suffered at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad trio of Travis Head, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen.
Head hit a six and four fours as Archer’s first over went for 23, although his second only cost a mere 12.
As a result, the Rajasthan Royals conceded 286 – the second-highest score in IPL history.
However, Archer’s IPL landmark – which included four sixes, 10 fours and just one dot ball – was well short of the world record belonging to Gambia’s Musa Jobarteh, who conceded 93 against Zimbabwe in October.
