In a remarkable display of power hitting, Marcus Stoinis smashed four consecutive sixes off Mohammed Shami in the final over of an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). This explosive performance on the field became a highlight as Mohammed Shami registered the second-most expensive bowling figures in IPL history.

Punjab Kings put up a massive total of 245/6 in their allotted twenty overs, marking their second-highest team score in the history of the IPL. The pivotal innings were powered by captain Shreyas Iyer who scored an impressive 82 runs off just 36 balls, setting a strong foundation for the team’s mammoth score. Key contributors to the total were Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, who made 36 and 42 runs respectively.

However, the most dramatic moment came in the final over of PBKS’s innings. Marcus Stoinis, displaying extraordinary striking skills, remained unbeaten with 34 runs off just 11 balls. His four consecutive sixes against Shami not only charged the crowd but also added significant runs to the team’s total.

Shami’s day with the ball was less than ideal. He conceded a total of 75 runs in his four-over spell, a performance that now stands as the second-worst in IPL’s history. To put this into perspective, the worst bowling figures in the history are 76 runs in four overs, marking Shami’s performance as an unfortunate close second to this record.

On the bowling front for SunRisers Hyderabad, Harshal Patel managed to take four crucial wickets, including the key dismissals of Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer. Despite Patel’s efforts, it was Punjab Kings‘ day as they managed to put up a formidable target, further emboldened by Stoinis’s staggering performance in the concluding over.

This match was a testament to the exhilarating nature of T20 cricket where fortunes can swing dramatically with just a few deliveries, as ably demonstrated by Marcus Stoinis and the record-breaking figures of Mohammed Shami.
