West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd delivered a breathtaking performance in the IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In a stunning display of power-hitting, Shepherd smashed 33 runs in a single over, marking the most expensive over of the season. His sequence of 6,6,4,6,6,4 off CSK pacer Khaleel Ahmed turned the tide in RCB’s favor, showcasing his ability to dominate the game in the final overs.
Shepherd’s blistering knock helped RCB post a formidable total of 213 runs, with his 14-ball half-century becoming the fastest of IPL 2025 and the joint second-fastest in IPL history. His innings included four sixes and two boundaries in the 19th over alone, making it a nightmare for Khaleel Ahmed, who had already struggled earlier in the match. The West Indies powerhouse continued his assault in the final over, adding 20 more runs off Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, further cementing his reputation as one of the most destructive finishers in T20 cricket.
This record-breaking performance not only secured a crucial win for RCB but also highlighted Shepherd’s ability to turn games around single-handedly. His fearless approach and aggressive batting style have made him a key asset for the team, proving that when it comes to high-pressure situations, he thrives. With IPL 2025 witnessing some of the most thrilling moments, Shepherd’s innings will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most electrifying displays of power-hitting in the tournament’s history.
