Sandeep Sharma
Something like this happened on Wednesday at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, which had never happened in the history of IPL before. In the match played between Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, Sandeep Sharma did a work that no bowler would like to do. Although many bowlers have done this in the IPL before this, but if we talk about the 20th over, then this has happened for the first time.
Sanju Samson won the toss and selected first bowling
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to bowl first. That is, Delhi’s team came out to bat first. When the 19th over of the innings ended, Delhi’s score was 169 runs at the loss of five wickets. Now the last of the last i.e. the turn of the 20th over came, captain Sanju Samson had done the ball to Sandeep Sharma, who had done three overs before and was bowling very economical. He had spent only 14 runs in three overs, although he did not get any success. But he made the 20th over very long. The first ball he threw the wide. After this, the second ball that was thrown did not run any run. That is, this was the first legal ball. But after this Sandeep put three consecutive ball wide. That is, only one ball was counted after four balls.
Four wide and one no ball Sandeep Sharma put
After this, the next ball wide did not happen, but this time Sandeep did no ball. That is, one run has gone, only Delhi got a free hit. Triston Stabs hit a four on the free hit. After this, a six went on the next ball. However, Sandeep gave only one run on the fourth, fifth and sixth balls. With this, Delhi’s score at 169 runs at the conclusion of the 19th over reached 188 in the 20th over. In this over, Sandeep threw a total of 11 balls and gave 19 runs.
Bowlers who over 11 balls in IPL
This is the fourth time in the history of IPL, a bowler has put 11 balls in an over. This was the first time in 2023. Mohammad Sira then scored 11 balls in the 19th over against Mumbai Indians. In the same year i.e. 2023, Tushardesh Pandey put a total of 11 balls in the fourth over against LSG. In the same year, Shardul Thakur held 11 balls in the 13th over against KKR. Now Sandeep Sharma’s name has also been added to this list. So far, no bowler had ever put 11 balls in the 20th over, which has now been done by Sandeep Sharma. However, Sandeep Sharma will not be happy at all.
