In a match on April 16, 2026, at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Deepak Chahar opened the bowling for the Mumbai Indians against the Punjab Kings and conceded 21 runs in his first over. This performance made him the first bowler in IPL history to concede 20 or more runs in the first over on multiple occasions. Earlier in the season, he had allowed 22 runs in his first over against the Rajasthan Royals, where Yashasvi Jaiswal scored all those runs. The record for the most runs conceded in the first over of an IPL match is held by Nitish Rana, who gave up 26 runs in a match in IPL 2023. Additionally, during the ongoing IPL 2026 season, David Payne of Sunrisers Hyderabad also faced a tough outing, conceding 25 runs in his first over against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
