IPL 2023 Winner

Super Overs are the IPL’s equivalent of a heart attack wrapped in fireworks. And if we’re talking the BEST one ever, one stands way above the rest:

💥 KXIP vs MI – DOUBLE SUPER OVER | IPL 2020

📍 Dubai International Stadium
🗓️ Oct 18, 2020
🎮 KXIP vs Mumbai Indians
First AND ONLY Double Super Over in IPL history

🧠 What Happened?

Regulation match:

  • Both teams ended with 176 runs

  • Rahul (77), Bumrah (4/24), and De Kock (53) starred

🔁 1st Super Over:

  • MI batted first: Scored just 5/1 (Shami was 🔥🔥)

  • KXIP also made 5/1 (Bumrah matched the magic)

👉 So we went into Super Over #2

⚡ 2nd Super Over:

  • MI scored 11

  • KXIP chased it down with Gayle & Mayank sealing the win

Why It Was ICONIC:

  • Insane pressure

  • Shami & Bumrah = world-class bowling duel

  • Mayank’s full-stretch dive to save a boundary

  • Gayle’s six in the 2nd Super Over

  • First-ever double thriller — pure adrenaline 🔥

💬 “Cricket doesn’t get crazier than this.”

Honorable Mentions – Other Epic Super Overs:

🧨 MI vs SRH – 2019

  • Rashid Khan vs Hardik, Pollard

  • MI defended just 8 runs

  • Malinga’s ice-cold yorkers sealed it

💣 RCB vs DC – 2013

  • AB de Villiers smashed 2 sixes & a four off Umesh

  • RCB chased 16 in the Super Over in just 3 balls

“ABD = cheat code.”

💛 MI vs KKR – 2014

  • Sunil Narine conceded just 11

  • MI almost chased but KKR held their nerve

  • High on drama, low on scoring — still intense

🧠 TL;DR – The GOAT Super Over:

Match Year Why It Stands Out
KXIP vs MI 2020 Double Super Over, elite bowling + drama
RCB vs DC 2013 ABD magic in Super Over
MI vs SRH 2019 Death-bowling masterclass by Malinga
MI vs KKR 2014 Low-scoring tension-packed finish
