During a match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans on May 9 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Jofra Archer made headlines by bowling an 11-ball over, which is now tied for the longest over in IPL history. The English fast bowler’s opening over included four wides and a no-ball, resulting in 18 runs being scored off it. This over also set a new record for the longest first over in IPL history, surpassing Shamar Joseph’s 10-ball over in 2024.
Archer joins a list of players who have bowled 11-ball overs in the IPL, including Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, and Mohammed Siraj. Arshdeep’s 11-ball over also occurred during this season’s match against Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh.
The longest overs in IPL history, based on the number of balls bowled, include Archer’s recent feat against Gujarat Titans in 2026, as well as overs by Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, and Mohammed Siraj in previous seasons.
This record-breaking performance by Jofra Archer took place on May 9, 2026, adding to the rich history of exciting moments in the IPL.
