#5 Most runs conceded by a bowler on IPL debut
Kwena Maphaka had a forgettable IPL debut for Mumbai Indians. He conceded 66 runs in four overs, the most given away by a bowler in his first IPL game. The previous mark was held by Michael Neser, who conceded 62 runs for Punjab Kings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2013.
