Delhi: Rajasthan Royals (RR) fast bowler Sandeep Sharma on Wednesday threw the longest over of the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the match against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. His over was for 11 balls.
Earlier, in this season, Shardul Thakur also put the 13th over against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which was 11 balls.
Apart from this, Mohammad Siraj (against Mumbai Indians, Bengaluru, 2023) and Tushar Deshpande (against Lucknow Super Giants, Chennai, 2023) are also included in this unwanted records.
These over no ball and wide balls became long, which not only deteriorated the bowlers’ rhythm but also put extra pressure on the team.
Most balls in one over in IPL (11 balls):
- Mohammad Siraj vs Mumbai Indians, Bengaluru 2023 (Over number 19)
- Tushar Deshpande vs Lucknow Supergiants, Chennai 2023 (Over No. 4)
- Shardul Thakur vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Kolkata 2025 (Over Number 13)
- Sandeep Sharma vs Delhi Capitals, Delhi 2025 (Over Number 20)
