Mumbai, India – Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya recorded a joint IPL record for bowling the most deliveries in a single over during MI’s high-stakes clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium on 6 May 2025.

Pandya’s Struggles with the Ball

While defending a 156-run target, Pandya brought himself into the attack in the eighth over, but struggled with his line and length, delivering:

Two no-balls
Three wides
11 deliveries overall (instead of six)
Conceding 18 runs

This unwanted feat places him alongside Mohammed Siraj, Tushar Deshpande, Shardul Thakur, and Sandeep Sharma, who have previously bowled 11-ball overs in IPL history.

Batting Woes Compound MI’s Struggles

Pandya’s troubles extended beyond bowling, as he failed to make an impact with the bat.

With MI at 105/4 in the 12th over, he attempted a slog sweep against Sai Kishore, but misjudged his shot.
His top-edged attempt was caught by GT captain Shubman Gill at slip, dismissing him for 1(3).

MI’s Late-Order Fightback

Despite Pandya’s off day, Corbin Bosch injected some firepower into MI’s innings, scoring 27 off 22 deliveries, helping Mumbai reach 155/8—preventing an early collapse.

Looking Ahead

With Mumbai Indians navigating an inconsistent campaign, Pandya will be eager to bounce back and reclaim his match-winning form in upcoming fixtures.
