What is the maximum one can score in one over? The record in ODIs is 36 runs – which has been achieved twice – once by South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs against the Netherlands in 2006 and the other by USA’s Jaskaran Malhotra against Papua New Guinea in 2021. In Tests, Jasprit has India’s Bumrah holds the record for the most runs in an over as he scored 35 in an over against England in 2022. Also in T20Is, 36 runs is the maximum scored in an over. It has happened twice: Yuvraj Singh against England in 2007 and Kieron Pollard against Sri Lanka in 2021. But what if someone said that over 46 points can be scored in one? Would you believe that?
Unthinkable as it may sound, it happened in a T20 match. The incident happened during a match of KCC Friends Mobile T20 Champions Trophy 2023 in Kuwait. In a match between NCM Investment and Tally CC, Vasu of NCM took Tally’s Harman to the cleaners. First, Harman started with a no-ball and got a six. He then gave up four byes. On the next five balls, he gave up five consecutive sixes, one of which came from a no-ball. The last ball of the over also hit a boundary four times, bringing the total runs in the over to 46.
46 runs in an overtake is not possible, is it? Right? Wrong! Watch this absolute crazy now.

Speaking of expensive overs in IPL, 37 runs have been scored twice in one over in the money rich league. That’s the most against in one over. The first time it happened was when Kochi Tuskers Kerala’s P. Parameswaran conceded 37 in a match against RCB in 2011. The next time it happened was in 2021 when RCB’s Harshal Patel conceded many runs against CSK.
