When was the Super Over introduced in the IPL?
The Super Over rule was introduced in the IPL back in 2009, during its second edition. The first Super Over in the IPL was played the very same year, with Rajasthan Royals defeating Kolkata Knight Riders. IPL 2020 saw the most number of Super Over finishes, with four matches decided in this manner.
The gap between the last two Super Overs was the longest in IPL history between two tied games, with the previous one played in IPL 2021 before Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals were involved in one in IPL 2025.
The strangest decision in a Super Over in the IPL came in 2014, when the match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders was tied even in the Super Over. Rajasthan Royals were then declared the winners on the basis of a higher boundary count.
