Bowlers in IPL 2024 are having a disastrous season so far, with them being taken to the cleaners every single match without any respite.

In match 40 of IPL 2024, the Delhi Capitals (DC) went against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday, April 24, and also saw a run-fest where DC posted a target of 225 at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi.

As it has been a ritual so far, with records getting broken every match, another record was smashed last night — however, it was the kind of record that no bowler would want to hold.

GT's pacer, Mohit Sharma, conceded 73 runs in his four overs, becoming the most expensive spell in IPL history, breaking the record of Basil Thampi, who conceded 70 runs in his four overs back in 2018.
