KA Maharaj conceded 514 runs in two tests he played so far in this series. He emulated Saqlain Mushtaq of Pakistan who also has conceded 500 plus runs in a two-test series. Saqlain Mushtaq conceded 512 runs in two tests against Sri Lanka in the 1996-97 series. Rumors are that KA Maharaj may not play the third Test at Ranchi due to the injury he suffered during the second Test. If he does not play the third test, then KA Maharaj and Saqlain Mushtaq will become the two bowlers in the annals of Test cricket to leak 500 plus runs in a two-Test series. KA Maharaj will also earn the distinction of becoming the most expensive bowler in the two-Test series. He has conceded 514 runs, while Saqlain Mushtaq has leaked 512 runs
