The Indian T20 League, known for its thrilling finishes, has seen many such moments where the outcome of the match depends on the last six balls. The importance and impact of the final overs in the shortest format of the game is a huge thing. Here, we are focusing on the most runs scored in the Indian T20 League’s final over, i.e., the 20th over.

Romario Shepherd – 32 Runs

Romario Shepherd delivered a stunning performance in the final over of the Indian T20 league match between Mumbai and Delhi on April 7, 2024. His explosive batting showed his ability to powerfully clear the ball out of the park with muscle power. Shepherd’s knack for hitting almost every ball for flat sixes has started drawing comparisons to the iconic all-rounder, hinting at him being the new Pollard in the making.

In this memorable over, Shepherd hammered Anrich Nortje for 32 runs, contributing significantly to his team’s victory. His remarkable feat of scoring 39 runs in the last 10 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 390.00 turned the game in Mumbai’s favor. This performance led Mumbai to their first win in the Indian T20 league 2024.

Rinku Singh – 31 Runs

Rinku Singh made his name into the cricket world with a complete game-changing performance in the Indian T20 League. Facing a tough task, with 28 runs needed off the last 5 balls, Singh stepped up in a manner that will be remembered for ages. Against the 5-time title winner C/S/K led by MS Dhoni, Rinku Singh smashed a barrage of power-hitting that left everyone in awe. He hit 5 consecutive sixes in the last 5 balls, crafting one of the most memorable finishes in the history of the league.

At a point when K/K/R needed 39 runs from the last 8 balls, Singh had been struggling, having scored only 8 runs off 14 balls. However, he turned the game on its head by hitting a four and a six, followed by an extraordinary sequence of five sixes, accumulating 29 runs in the last over alone, changing the fate of the game, and steering K/K/R to an unlikely victory.
