Markram is generally considered a reliable bowler in T20 cricket, but in this match his flighted balls, fast balls and yorker attempts proved useless in front of the batsmen. The batsmen punished every ball with excellent timing, which left both the fielders and bowlers stunned. 32 runs is the most expensive over so far this season. With this, Markram also joined the club of bowlers who hit 5 sixes in an over of IPL.
