It was a super Sunday for the IPL fans. The excitement of the cricket was at its peak on Sunday in both the encounters. IPL has already through half way stage and we have witnessed some fascinating cricket in last 2 weeks or so. But what we encountered on Sunday was thrill at its peak with 2 super overs in a match.

Even after the first super over the result could not be decided and the match went for super over 2.0. At international level these sights are rare but in IPL super overs are common in almost every edition.

Unlike other it was a day with 2 matches played at 2 different venues but the outcome of the games was decided same way : Super Over. In the first encounter between SRH and KKR we witnessed some sheer brilliance of bowling by kiwi quick Lockie Ferguson while the second match was by far the most exciting outings for the fans after last year’s world cup final between England and New-Zealand.

Since the inception of the league one thing that hasn’t changed is entertainment for the crowd. Of-course the grounds are empty this year because of the pandemic but the people watching matches at home on television screens are guaranteed with the some very exciting cricket.

One can not ask for more. After 40 overs the result is not out, teams went for super over and it tied again. what followed after that was another super over and there we got the result. It was a roller coaster ride of excitement for the fans. In previous editions also we had witnessed some exciting finishes, But 2 super overs in a single game is the thing witnessed for the first time, we are told.

No one can forget the last year’s world cup final between England and New-Zealand where the result could not be decided after the super over and winner was decided on the basis of number of boundaries hit during the innings.

The phenomenon of super over 2.0 might be an outcome of the backlash erupted after the decision of world cup final. People were not at all happy with the rules in place in case the super over also ties. We have witnessed some close encounters in this edition of IPL but this will go down as the most exciting finish of the season so far.
We don’t know what future hold for us in upcoming matches but one thing can be guaranteed that is entertainment. (All images source : Google Images)
