| 1 | Jofra Archer — 0/76 in 4 Overs (IPL 2025) | All-Time Worst IPL Bowling Figures Rajasthan Royals vs SRH | March 23, 2025 | Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad Jofra Archer recorded the worst bowling figures in IPL history on March 23, 2025, when he conceded 76 runs in 4 overs (economy rate: 19.00) for Rajasthan Royals against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH posted 286/6 — the second-highest total in IPL history — with Travis Head (67 off 31 balls), Ishan Kishan (106* off 47 balls), and Heinrich Klaasen (34 off 14 balls) all targeting Archer relentlessly. Travis Head took Archer's first over for 23 runs (four fours and a six). His third over was hit for 22 by Ishan Kishan's three sixes. His final over went for 19 including a no-ball full-toss. Archer bowled just one dot ball across all four overs. | March 23, 2025 | Rajasthan Royals | 2,025 | 4 |
| 2 | Mohammed Shami — 0/75 in 4 Overs (IPL 2025) | Second Worst Ever SRH vs Punjab Kings | April 10, 2025 | Second Most Expensive Spell in IPL Mohammed Shami recorded the second-worst bowling figures in IPL history on April 10, 2025, when he conceded 75 runs in 4 overs (economy: 18.75) for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Punjab Kings. PBKS posted 245/6 with Shreyas Iyer top-scoring with 82 off 36 balls. The final over was the most damaging — Marcus Stoinis (34* off 11 balls) struck four consecutive sixes off Shami to turn an already-difficult afternoon into the worst individual bowling performance by an Indian bowler in IPL history. Ironically, Shami conceded 75 runs against the same team (PBKS) that he had brilliantly dismissed for record low totals earlier in his career. | April 10, 2025 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | 2,025 | 4 |
