Chennai Super Kings’ bowler Anshul Kamboj is currently at the center of unwanted IPL history. In a recent match against the Gujarat Titans, he conceded 56 runs in just four overs, marking an economy rate of 14. This performance contributed to a significant decline in his form.
Anshul Kamboj Breaks Unwanted IPL Record
Kamboj’s struggles escalated following a previous match against the Lucknow Super Giants, where he allowed 63 runs in 2.3 overs, including eight sixes hit by Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh. His recent matches have been marked by a lack of consistency, particularly during death overs, where batsmen have increasingly targeted his bowling variations.
Most Sixes Conceded in a Single IPL Season
- 34 – Anshul Kamboj (2026)
- 33 – Rashid Khan (2025)
- 31 – Mohammed Siraj (2022)
- 30 – Wanindu Hasaranga (2022)
- 30 – Yuzvendra Chahal (2024)
- 30 – Kagiso Rabada (2026)
This record now places Kamboj at the top, surpassing Rashid Khan’s previous record of 33 sixes conceded in 2025. As a young pacer, Kamboj’s experience in this IPL season has served as a steep learning curve.
Gujarat Titans’ Dominant Performance
In the match, Gujarat Titans set an impressive total of 229 runs for four wickets. The opening pair of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan showcased their formidable partnership, contributing significantly to this score. Gill led with an aggressive 64 runs off 37 balls, achieving his fifty in just 23 deliveries.
Sai Sudharsan supported beautifully with an elegant 84 runs from 53 balls, marking his fifth consecutive half-century. Their partnership of 125 runs came off only 74 balls, further emphasizing their strong chemistry at the top of the order.
Match Summary
| Player | Runs | Balls |
|---|---|---|
| Shubman Gill | 64 | 37 |
| Sai Sudharsan | 84 | 53 |
Despite his struggles, Kamboj did manage to take a wicket by dismissing Sudharsan, but it came too late in the contest. As the IPL progresses, both Kamboj and the Chennai Super Kings will look to regroup and improve their performances.
