There have been bowlers who have dominated the shortest format of the game but at times even the greatest bowlers find it difficult to survive the demolition caused by the hands of the batsmen. Bowlers have been taken apart in IPL and here is a list of top 5 bowlers with most runs conceded in an innings.

#4. Umesh Yadav
The pacer is a part of the core Indian bowling setup. Umesh and Sandeep have had a similar faith, even Umesh was once taken apart by his current team RCB while he was playing for Delhi Daredevils back in 2013. Umesh Yadav conceded 65 runs in 4 overs at Feroz Shah Kotla (Homeground of DD) and went wicketless. It was one of those learning curves in his career which has made him a bowler he is today. Considering the RCB batting lineup of back then, it could have been even worse.
