Social Media Reacts as Himmat Singh’s Freak Run Out Forces Super Over in DPL
Himmat Singh produced one of the most unusual run-outs in the Delhi Premier League, accidentally kicking the ball onto the stumps after fumbling a simple chance on the final delivery. The dismissal forced a Super Over with Outer Delhi Warriors needing 1 run to win. The viral moment sparked huge reactions online, although Outer Delhi Warriors eventually secured victory in the Super Over.
As the Delhi Premier League delivered another dramatic finish, New Delhi Tigers captain Himmat Singh became the centre of attention after producing a remarkable run-out on the final ball of the match against Outer Delhi Warriors. Chasing just 1 run from the last delivery of the 15-over contest, the Warriors attempted a risky single after the batter failed to connect cleanly. Himmat rushed to collect the ball near the non-striker’s end but fumbled an easy chance.
In frustration, he kicked the loose ball, which unexpectedly struck the stumps before Pratham Saluja could complete his run. The unusual dismissal forced the match into a Super Over, and the incident quickly gained popularity across social media. Despite the dramatic finish, Outer Delhi Warriors held their nerve to win in the Super Over. Himmat made his IPL debut for Lucknow Super Giants in 2025 as a replacement for Mitchell Marsh after impressing in the 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he scored 197 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 148.
His IPL performances have been modest so far, with no batting opportunity in 3 matches during 2025 and 92 runs from 6 matches in 2026 at an average of 30.67 and a strike rate of 133.33. The 2026 Delhi Premier League began on July 31, with the league stage ending on August 25 and the final scheduled for August.
