Daniel Sams, Shivam Mavi and Odean Smith joined an unwanted list during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 by bowling the most expensive overs in an innings.

With death-bowling and overall bowling becoming a challenge with smaller boundaries and batter friendly wickets along with tight calls for wides when bowling those wide yorkers, any bowler is torn apart in the shortest format.

The Australian all-rounder Sams was at the mercy of his compatriot Pat Cummins, who also equalled the record for fastest fifty thanks to his blitzkrieg in the over bowled by the left-arm pacer during Mumbai Indian' match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Cummins welcomed Sams into the attack with a six followed by a four and then back-to-back sixes before a waist high no-ball caught at the boundary by Suryakumar Yadav gave him a reprieve.

Even that no-ball helped Cummins add two runs and get back on strike for the free hit, which was hit for a boundary and the last delivery of the over went for a six to seal the tie as Sams conceded 35 runs in the over.

Earlier in the 2022 season, Punjab Kings' Smith had held the top spot by conceding 30 runs to KKR's Andre Russell. KKR pace duo Shivam Mavi and Tim Southee joined the list in the later stages.

Meanwhile, death-bowling specialists like T Natarajan and Mohammed Shami also feature in the list for most expenisve overs this season along with overseas quicks like Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson and others.

While Sams tops the list in 2022, the Mumbai Indians pacer also became the player to bowl the third most expensive over in IPL history. The record is still held jointly by Harshal Patel (currently at Royal Challengers Bangalore) and Prashanth Parmeswaran (No longer part of IPL).
