Published by Webster

Harshal Patel carved his name into the history books with a remarkable individual milestone during their clash against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday. The right-arm pacer became the fastest bowler in Indian Premier League history to reach 150 wickets in terms of balls bowled, surpassing legendary names in the process. Patel achieved the feat by dismissing Aiden Markram in the 16th over of the innings with one of his trademark slower yorkers — a dipping delivery that deceived the South African completely and crashed into the stumps. It was Patel’s first wicket of the night but one that placed him in elite company. The wicket came off the 2381st ball of his IPL career, breaking the previous record held by Sri Lankan great Lasith Malinga, who had taken 2444 balls to reach the same landmark. The updated list of fastest to 150 IPL wickets in terms of balls now reads: Harshal Patel (2381), Lasith Malinga (2444), Yuzvendra Chahal (2543), Dwayne Bravo (2656), and Jasprit Bumrah (2832).

The two teams face off in a crucial IPL league match, that can stir the table standings, though DC are in a better position to make Playoffs than SRH. Narrating from a picture frame of the two on the wall, Axar recalled, “Connection with Harshal goes back to Gujarat, though I didn’t get opportunity to play with him after U19 because he moved to Haryana. But we met again at Delhi Capitals.” Story continues below this ad This is where a lot of coffee-talk happened over IPL. Axar was far from a coffee drinker.

Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran truly wears emotions on her sleeve. Often present in the stands to cheer her team, Maran hasn’t had a lot to celebrate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, with the franchise only recording 2 wins in 7 matches so far. In the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday, Maran looked in an angry avatar as SRH star Harshal Patel dropped an easy catch of Ravindra Jadeja. Maran, sitting in the stands, seemingly yelled at Harshal for costing the team a big wicket. Jadeja was batting on 9 when a miscued shot from Jadeja looked to be landing safely into the hands of Harshal. However, the pacer let the ball slip through his hands, hence letting down Zeeshan Ansari and his team. Maran was understandably furious. Jadeja went on to score 21 runs off 17 balls before being dismissed by Kamindu Mendis.
