In what can be termed as one of the most expensive overs, Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL 2023), saw a bowler giving away 18 runs in only one delivery.

In the match between Salem Spartans and Chepauk Super Gillies, Spartans captain Abhishek Tanwar bowled perhaps the most expensive delivery in T20 cricket, and his final over conceded 26 runs in the final over of the innings.

It all began when Tanwar ran in to bowl the final ball of the Super Gillies innings and tried to bowl a yorker, which he bowled brilliantly, but in the effort, he overstepped and was no-balled.

The batter Sanjay Yadav charged forward to what followed - a low full toss. And cleared the midwicket boundary for a six. Tanwar’s luck that was also called a no-ball. Tanwar then ran in again and bowled another perfect yorker, but once again overstepped.

Yadav ended up taking two runs off it as well.

Tanwar again went back to his marker and this time bowled down the leg side which was called a wide. By now, Tanwar was rattled. Somehow, he managed to bowl a legal delivery, a yorker but Yadav launched it over midwicket for a maximum.

CSG finished with a mammoth 217/5 and Yadav remained unbeaten on 31 off 12. Tanwar ended with figures of 1/44 from four overs.

Here is the video:

“I have to take the blame for the last over - four no-balls being a senior bowler was disappointing. The wind did not help as it played a huge role," Tanwar said during the post-match presentation.

Chasing 218, Spartans managed 165/9 in 20 overs as CSG began their campaign with a big 52-run win.
