Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record of conceding the most runs in an innings of an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match. The former left-arm orthodox recorded the most expensive figures in the history of the showpiece event against Pakistan in the inaugural edition.

Jayasuriya delivered four overs and ended up costing his team 64 runs. Former Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza is at the second spot. The former conceded 63 runs in four wicketless overs against Pakistan in 2014.

Former England seamer Stuart Broad suffered the ignominy of conceding six sixes in an over during the inaugural edition of the World Cup in South Africa. As a result, he ended up conceding 60 runs in four wicketless overs, and it is still the fourth-most expensive spell in T20 WC history.

Australian left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc rounds off the top five, thanks to his forgettable spell against New Zealand in the final of the 2021 T20 World Cup. The left-arm seamer was taken to the cleaners by Kane Williamson and co, and he ended up costing the Aussies 60 runs in four overs.

Luckily for Starc, his spell did not cost Australia in the long run, as Mitch Marsh spearheaded the run-chase and took his side past the finishing line.

Among Indians, former right-arm seamer Joginder Sharma is the sole representative in this unwanted list. The former Haryana cricketer conceded 57 runs in four unsuccessful overs against England during the inaugural edition.
