On Saturday, April 12, during Match 27 of the current Indian Premier League between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Marcus Stoinis tore Mohammed Shami apart for four consecutive sixes. Thanks to Stoinis’ late burst, SRH finished their innings at 245/6.
A hit over wide long-on that was 93 meters was the first maximum. Deep midwicket was hammered hard by the next two strikes. A low full-toss down leg that was hit over deep square leg for the fourth consecutive six was the innings’ last delivery.

At 34* (11), Stoinis finished the innings undefeated after a vicious batting outburst that included one four and four sixes. The highest scorer, captain Shreyas Iyer, hit 82 off 36. He hit six fours and as many sixes in his scorching knock. PBKS used their powerplay to its fullest earlier in the evening, hitting 89.
Shami’s second-most costly IPL spell sets an unwelcome record.
After giving up 75 runs during his four-over stint, Shami recorded the second-most costly spell in IPL history, cementing his place in an unremarkable list. Three dot balls made up the entirety of his 0/75 spell. Thirteen boundaries in all, including seven sixes and six fours, were scored. Jofra Archer lost his four-over quota earlier in the 2025 Indian Premier League by 76 runs.
Additionally, following his performance against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday, March 30, the speedster went wicketless in his second IPL match. The game before the aforementioned match against DC, against the Lucknow Super Giants, saw him give up the most runs this season—37.
