The record for the most runs yielded in three overs is held by English quick bowler, Tom Curran, who surrendered 63 runs in three overs in the 2019 T20 shoot match among Surrey and Essex.
Here are the four most costly three-over spells ever:
Player Overs Figures Match
Tom Curran 3 63-0 Surrey versus Essex, T20 Blast 2019
Bredell Wessels 3 62-0 Namibia versus North West, CSA Provisional T20 Challenge 2014
Ben Harmison 3 62-1 Kent versus Essex, T20 Blast 2014
Wahab Riaz bowls 3 61-0 St Lucia Kings versus Jamaica Tallawahs, CPL 2021
Wahab’s spell incorporated a 32-run over as ostentatious West Indian all-rounder, Andre Russell crushed four sixes and one limit in the nineteenth over of the innings. Russell was in top structure as he hit a 14 ball 50 years, turning into the main batsman in history to score two half-hundreds of years in 14 balls.

Russell’s touchy batting at the demise of the innings and strong commitments from youthful Pakistani batsmen, Haider Ali (45), Kennar Lewis (48), and Andre Fletcher (47), assisted the Tallawahs with posting an overwhelming absolute of 255/5 on the board in the primary innings.
St. Lucia Kings couldn’t represent a danger to the resistance and tumbled for 135 as Tallawahs enrolled a 120 run triumph.
