Mo Bobat on why Romario Shepherd bowled last over for RCB against DC | Cricket News

3 min readApr 18, 2026 10:20 PM IST The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) suffered their first home loss of IPL 2026, losing a last-over thriller to Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Romario Shepherd was entrusted with defending 15 runs in the last over, but could not execute as David Miller smashed him for two sixes and a four to close out the match.

So, to get yourself back in that game or maybe even get ahead of the game, you have to use your champion bowlers,” Bobat said in the post-match press conference. “So, we felt that we had to bowl both Hazlewood and Bhuvi when we did, to try and make it as difficult as possible later in the game. …

Romario Shepherd Reveals His Mantra After Match-Winning Performance vs CSK

Royal Challengers Bengaluru power-hitter Romario Shepherd, the prime architect behind Chennai Super Kings’ two-run defeat, revealed his “kill them softly” mantra while outlining his approach that allows him to generate force to inflict carnage effortlessly. Shepherd’s massacre in the last two overs of the first innings sent the Super Kings on the verge of defeat in the pulsating thriller at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the penultimate over, he decimated Khaleel Ahmed, toyed with his field setting, and clobbered him for 33 runs. Matheesha Pathirana tried to chain Shepherd with precision, but Shepherd relied on his brute force to pummel 20 runs in the five deliveries he faced and lift Bengaluru to a daunting 213/5. The Caribbean star wore a beaming smile on his face as he returned unbeaten on 53 from 14 deliveries, the second-fastest half-century in the cash-rich league’s history.

6,6,4,6,6,4 – RCB Star Romario Shepherd Annihilates CSK Pacer For Most Expensive Over Of Season. Watch

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Romario Shepherd smashed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Khaleel Ahmed for 33 runs in the 19th over of their IPL 2025 clash en route to a scintillating 14-ball half-century. Coming into bat with RCB looking for an explosive finish, Shepherd treated himself to four sixes and two boundaries off Khaleel in the penultimate over of the innings. It made Khaleel’s over the most expensive one of IPL 2025, surpassing the 30 runs that Karim Janat conceded against Vaibhav Suryavanshi earlier in the season. pic.twitter.com/bNSOIJDmmm — Suhana (@blazekohlii) May 3, 2025 Khaleel had already endured a difficult night upto that point, being hit for 32 in his two overs in the powerplay by Jacob Bethell.

Romario Shepherd smashes joint-second fastest half century in IPL century, clobbers Khaleel Ahmed for 33 runs in 19th over | Ipl News

Romario Shepherd smashes joint-second fastest half century in IPL century, clobbers Khaleel Ahmed for 33 runs in 19th over | Ipl News

Incredibly, one of the three dot balls that Romario Shepherd faced during his blistering innings on Saturday night at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium was off a free hit. That would come as scant consolation for Khaleel Ahmed who conceded 33 runs in the 19th over of the first innings between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. That one missed opportunity in the over, in fact, cost a couple of records for Shepherd: he missed out on registering the most expensive over in IPL history, a four would have equalled 37 and a six would have broken that mark. And he eventually reached his half century of 14 balls, the second-joint fastest half century in the history of the Indian Premier League. Shepherd now joins KL Rahul (for PBKS in 2018) and Pat Cummins (for KKR in 2022) to have scored 14-ball fifties in the IPL. The record of 13 balls is held by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Those numbers sum up how ridiculous Shepherd’s onslaught was at the end of RCB’s innings that had actually faltered …
