As another action-packed evening lit up IPL 2025, the Delhi crowd is enjoying a nail-biting clash between the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals. Among all the thrills, Sandeep Sharma’s bizarre last over grabbed the attention.

As the Rajasthan Royals bowler Sandeep Sharma came to bowl the last over of the first innings, a new drama unfolded. He ended up bowling a marathon 11-ball over, joining a rare list of Indian bowlers who’ve delivered the most balls in a single over in IPL.

Sandeep Sharma’s Bizarre Feat

As the 32nd match of the IPL 2025 unfolded between the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals, fans are enjoying a thrilling encounter. As the Rajasthan Royals struggled to dominate the Delhi Capitals despite some early dominance, Sandeep Sharma’s bizarre bowling feat in the last over turned the tables.

After the 19th over, the DC batters boosted their innings to 169 runs, and Sandeep Sharma came to bowl the last over but had a forgettable outing. He kicked things off with a wide, followed by a dot, only to unravel with three more wides in quick succession. Extra runs piled on, and the over quickly slipped out of control.

But the shock was yet to come. Sandeep bowled a no-ball next, and Ashutosh Sharma made the most of the free hit with a boundary. A couple more boundaries and singles later, the dramatic over stretched to 11 balls. With that, the bowler joined Mohammad Siraj, Tushar Deshpande, and Shardul Thakur in the unwanted feat of conceding the most deliveries in an over in the tournament.

DC Put Up A Strong Total On The Board

Aiming a bounce back from their last setback, the Delhi Capitals faced a shaky start while batting first in the ongoing encounter. After McGurk’s dismissal on 9 runs, last match’s hero Karun Nair walked away on a 3-ball duck. Abishek Porel brought some spark to the innings, but heartbreakingly missed his well-earned fifty by just a single run.

After KL Rahul’s 38-run knock, Tristan Stubbs and captain Axar Patel showcased some fireworks on the big stage. After Axar walked away after playing a fiery knock of 34 runs in just 14 deliveries, Stubbs remained unbeaten, scoring 34 runs in 18 balls. With that, the Delhi Capitals put on a total of 188-5 on the scoreboard.
