Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Sandeep Sharma joined an unwanted list during the match against Delhi Capitals. Sandeep came to bowl the last over of Delhi's innings, but he bowled 11 balls. Delhi Capitals have set a target of 189 runs in front of Rajasthan Royals with the help of a great partnership between Abhishek Porel and KL Rahul.

Delhi gave a target of 189 runs.

Rajasthan won the toss and decided to bowl first. No batsman could play a big innings for Delhi, but they performed well in pieces, which helped the team score 188 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. This is the lowest total in the last seven IPL matches in Delhi since 2024.

Sandeep conceded 19 runs in the last over.

Sandeep, who came to bowl the last over, started with a wide and then no run was scored on the next ball. After this, Sandeep bowled three consecutive balls wide, while the next ball was a no ball on which one run came. Stubbs hit a four on the free hit and then sent the next ball for a six. Only one run was scored on Sandeep's next three balls. In this way, Sandeep bowled 11 balls in the over and conceded a total of 19 runs.
With this, Sandeep has become the joint fourth bowler to bowl the most balls in an over in IPL. Apart from Sandeep, Mohammad Siraj, Tushar Deshpande, and Shardul Thakur have also bowled 11 balls in an over in the IPL. Sandeep gave 33 runs in four overs in the match against Delhi Capitals and did not get a single success.

Delhi's innings
Batting first, Jack Fraser McGurk and Porel gave the team a good start, but Jofra Archer dismissed McGurk for nine runs. Soon after this, Karun Nair was run out without opening the account. This was the fourth time in IPL that Karun returned to the pavilion on zero. After two setbacks, Rahul formed a partnership with Porel and both of them shared a 63-run partnership for the third wicket. Archer once again proved to be important for Rajasthan and he ended this partnership by dismissing KL Rahul.

After Rahul's dismissal, Porel also lost his wicket in the next over and missed out on scoring a half-century. Then captain Axar Patel came to the crease and batted aggressively. Axar was dismissed after scoring 34 runs off 14 balls with the help of four fours and two sixes. In the last overs, Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh batted brilliantly, taking the team's score beyond 180. Stubbs returned unbeaten after scoring 34 runs off 18 balls with the help of two fours and two sixes and Ashutosh returned unbeaten after scoring 15 runs off 11 balls with the help of two fours. For Rajasthan, Archer took two wickets, while Mahesh Teekshna and Wanindu Hasaranga took one wicket each.
