IPL 2024 was a disappointing season for the bowlers. Many records broke from a bowling perspective in the negative direction. IPL must ensure that bowlers get their due in the tournament, which happened to an extent in the second half of the season. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three bowlers who conceded the most runs in IPL 2024.
1) Pat Cummins – 566
It is a surprise that Pat Cummins finds himself at the top of the list. Compared to the previous seasons, it appeared that Pat was having a good season. He did pick up 18 wickets but it came at a cost of giving away 566 runs, the most by any bowler in any season in the history of IPL.
Nevertheless, at certain important phases, Cummins did the job for SRH. He did well with the old ball and when needed, he also bowled in the powerplay. Overall, it was a decent season for him.
2) Yuzvendra Chahal – 546
Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the bowlers who conceded the most runs in IPL 2024. For Chahal, the tournament could be divided into before the Indian Team was announced and after it was announced.
Before the announcement, Chahal was in top form. However, in the second half of the season, he was very poor. He could not pick a lot of wickets and also gave away plenty of runs.
3) Avesh Khan – 526
Many criticized when Rajasthan Royals brought in Avesh Khan in a trade move before the auctions. However, with 19 wickets, he managed to answer his doubters. Yes, he did give away a lot of runs but he was bowling the tough overs and this was bound to happen.
Going forward, Avesh must work on his defensive bowling. He has the age to develop his skills further. This way, he could do better in the coming seasons and for India, as well.
