Delhi: The match played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) proved to be one of the most exciting matches so far. Super over was seen for the first time in the world’s richest Cricket League after four years.
Delhi Capitals scored 188 runs while batting first. In response, Rajasthan Royals made a fast start, but Mitchell Starc’s brilliant bowling in the last over brought the match on par. Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurlel failed to win the team in the final moments.
Super over thrill
Rajasthan Royals batted in the super over and lost wickets on the fourth and fifth balls due to two runs-outs (Ryan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal). The team scored 11 runs, and their innings ended one ball already. In response, Delhi made no mistake and won only four balls. KL Rahul and Triston Stabs made the team victorious by hitting a four and a six off Sandeep Sharma’s balls.
Historical act of Shubham Dubey
In the midst of the super over, Rajasthan Royals took a unique step and sent Shubham Dubey to the ground as his impact player. This decision was taken when the regular player of the team Sanju Samson was out due to injury. However, RR had already batted in the super over, Dubey could not get down to bat. The special thing is that RR did not take Dubey as all during his rungase, because the team had lost only three wickets.
In this way, Shubham Dubey became the first player to land as all in the super over in IPL history. This is a unique record, which will be very difficult to repeat in the future.
