The eleventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) began with Lahore Qalandars defeating Hyderabad Kingsmen convincingly at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore during the opening game.
PSL is widely regarded as a bowling-friendly league compared to other global tournaments, thanks to the pitch conditions in Pakistan, which have nurtured many talented local and international bowlers.
However, throughout PSL history, some bowlers have faced innings that challenged their skills and resilience, conceding massive runs despite consistent efforts to support their respective teams.
High-pressure matches often force bowlers into aggressive encounters, where even experienced pacers and spinners sometimes concede runs at alarming economy rates.
Afghanistan spinner Qais Ahmad conceded the most runs in a single four-over spell, giving 77 runs for Quetta Gladiators against Multan Sultans in Rawalpindi, marking one of the costliest performances.
Here is the definitive list of the top ten most conceded runs in the history of the Pakistan Super League.
