The Indian Premier League (IPL) has produced several nail-biting thrillers, with some matches going down to the wire and ending in a tie. In such cases, the Super Over — cricket’s equivalent of a tiebreaker — comes into play to decide the winner.
The latest Super Over in IPL came on April 16, 2025, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Delhi Capitals defeated Rajasthan Royals in the first Super Over of IPL 2025. Both teams finished with identical scores of 188 at the end of their 20 overs. Abishek Porel (49), KL Rahul (38), and Tristan Stubbs (34*) played key roles in DC’s innings, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana both scored 51 to keep RR in the chase.
With 9 runs needed off the final over, Mitchell Starc bowled a brilliant spell to restrict RR and force a Super Over. In the Super Over, Rajasthan Royals managed only 11/2, losing both Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer to run-outs. KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs then made short work of the chase, scoring 13 runs in four balls to hand DC a memorable win.
