In the IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals, Shubham Dubey made history by becoming the first Impact Player to be introduced in a Super Over. This decision came after he replaced Maheesh Theekshana before the Royals’ bowling effort in the Super Over. Despite missing out on using the Impact Player during the regulation game, Dubey was given the opportunity to make an impact in the high-pressure Super Over situation.

This match marked the 15th Super Over in IPL history and the first in nearly four years. It was the fourth Super Over for Rajasthan Royals and the fifth for Delhi Capitals.
The thrilling encounter showcased the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket and highlighted the importance of making strategic decisions under pressure. While Dubey may not have been able to make a significant impact in the Super Over, his inclusion in such a crucial moment demonstrates the evolving tactics and innovations in the sport.
Overall, the match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals was a memorable one, with both teams showcasing their skills and determination to come out on top. The introduction of the Impact Player in the Super Over added an exciting twist to the game, further emphasizing the excitement and unpredictability of IPL cricket.
