[Watch] IPL 2025: Aniket Verma hits 102-metre explosive six, longest by an Indian

In Match 10 of the 2025 Indian Premier League between the Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, March 30, Aniket Verma reached his first IPL fifty by going inside-out for a boundary and smashing Axar Patel for two consecutive maximums.

In the game’s fifteenth innings, the second delivery was smashed for a maximum of 102 metres over deep mid-wicket. A tiny bit of the ball was dragged back. Rocking back, the right-handed batter swung it for a huge six. The subsequent birth was a little fuller, allowing Verma to stretch his arms. The ball was hammered over the bowler’s head by the 23-year-old.

Aniket Sharma put on a show to revive SRH with 74(41)

SRH chose to bat first, and their batsmanship was inconsistent. During the powerplay, they lost four wickets in all. They did, however, score 58 runs in their first six overs because to the aggressive nature of cricket. Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma all left for single-digit scores.

Aniket Verma, who entered at number five, and Heinrich Klaasen,

The wicketkeeper-batter, formed an important 42-ball 72-run partnership that helped his team escape the early difficulties they were in. Even after Klaasen was fired, the former continued. His half-century off of thirty-four deliveries was brought up. His outstanding batting performance (74 off 41) was the reason the Orange Army scored 163.

Kuldeep Yadav was the most cost-effective bowler for DC. The wrist-spinner’s four-over session saw him give up just 22 runs. In the end, Mitchell Starc claimed his first five-wicket haul in the IPL. With statistics of 5/35 in 3.4 overs, he took out the last wicket for SRH on the fourth delivery of his last over. Between them, Kuldeep and Starc bowled 25 dot balls.
