Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya on Tuesday bowled the joint-longest over in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history with 11 deliveries against Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium. Pandya equaled the record of Tushar Deshpande (2023), Mohammed Siraj (2023) and Shardul Thakur (2025).Hardik conceded 18 runs in his over. He bowled five extras in the over, including three wides and two no balls.Most balls in an over in IPL11 balls Mohammed Siraj vs MI Bengaluru 2023 (Over No 19)11 balls Tushar Deshpande vs LSG Chennai 2023 (Over No 4)11 balls Shardul Thakur vs KKR Kolkata 2025 (Over No 13)11 balls Sandeep Sharma vs DC Delhi 2025 (Over No 20)11 balls Hardik Pandya vs GT Wankhede 2025 (Over No 8) Earlier, Mumbai Indians came into this match on the back of a six-match unbeaten streak but that run is likely to end on Tuesday in this crucial match against GT that both teams need to win to inch closer to the playoff spot.
Asked to bat first, Mumbai Indians landed in trouble in the first over as Mohammed Siraj struck off the second ball. Jacks had to walk into the middle early and made the most of his chance to score his maiden half-century for the Mumbai Indians.But the five-time champions failed to capitalise on the platform provided by Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav, who shared a 71-partnership for the third wicket. They lost seven wickets for 58 runs to end up with a paltry score.Who’s that IPL player?As many as three dropped catches in the power play notwithstanding, Gujarat fought back through their spinners Rashid and R Sai Kishore (2/34) to grab control of the game in which Mumbai Indians crumbled against pressure.Will Jacks, who was dropped twice on 0 and 29, struck a 35-ball 53 (5x4s, 3x6s) while Suryakumar Yadav made a brisk 34 but the rest of the MI batters couldn’t respond to the challenge, particularly skipper Hardik Pandya (1) and Tilak Varma (7).
