New Delhi. Some matches are not able to be forgotten by the fans even if they want to because there is a lot of thrill in it. One such match was seen on Thursday in IPL 2024, where veteran batsmen kneeled down in front of the bowler. This match was played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
In the 50th match of IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals needed 13 runs in 6 balls to win in the last over. The way runs are being scored in the current season, it seems that the Royals will easily win the match. But then a miracle was seen. Miracle of the bowler. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took the responsibility of the last over and bowled such memorable 6 balls which the fans will not forget for a long time.
Here we will tell you the thrill of the last over, in which Bhuvi prevented the Royals from achieving the target and gave his team a 1-run victory in a breath-taking match. Things changed like this every moment in the last over:
13 runs in 6 balls, Bhuvneshwar Kumar came to bowl.

19.2, Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rovman Powell – 2 runs. Yorker ball. Powell played a shot towards long on. Ashwin ran for the second run. The fielder threw towards the wicketkeeper, by then Powell also reached the crease. Royals are now 10 runs away from victory in 4 balls.

19.6, Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rovman Powell – out. Strong appeal and the umpire raised his finger. Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the match for Hyderabad. Bhuvi bowled a full toss on middle and leg. Powell went to play the shot, but missed. The ball hit his back pad and umpire Anil Chaudhary raised his finger. Powell took review, but to no avail. Even if he was not out, he would not have scored a run. Ball tracking also confirmed that Powell is out.
What drama happened in Hyderabad? Rajasthan Royals don’t know where to look. They don’t know how to go backward. Hyderabad doesn’t know how they did this. This is a great comeback and a story that will definitely be told for generations to come. Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals by 1 run in a close match. Hyderabad reached fourth place in the points table.
