Delhi: Friday was a very bad day for Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy in the fourth T20I match against New Zealand. In this match played at Eden Park in Auckland, Reddy spent 32 runs in his 16th over. With this, he joined the list of Indian bowlers who gave the most runs in an over in T20 International cricket.

Glenn Phillips creates panic by hitting four consecutive sixes

New Zealand's star batsman Glenn Phillips attacked Reddy fiercely. He hit four consecutive sixes from the third ball to the sixth ball of the over. Phillips took full advantage of the bowler's poor line and length.

Worst record in the name of Shivam Dubey

With this performance, Nitish Reddy equaled the unwanted record of Stuart Binny. In 2016, Stuart Binny also gave 32 runs in one over against West Indies at Lauderhill.

However, the record of bowling the most expensive over among Indian bowlers is still in the name of Shivam Dubey. In the year 2020, he had spent 34 runs in one over against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui.
