All super overs in IPL history now total 16, after Sunil Narine produced one of the most devastating spells in IPL Super Over history during the LSG vs KKR match on April 26, 2026. The veteran mystery spinner dismissed Nicholas Pooran on the very first ball, conceded just one run, and triggered a second wicket — restricting LSG to 1/2, the lowest super over score in IPL history. Rinku Singh then chased it down off a single delivery.
Since the first super over in IPL history back in 2009, tied finishes have delivered some of the most iconic moments in T20 cricket. From Yusuf Pathan’s blitz in Cape Town to Jasprit Bumrah’s masterclass in 2017, from the only double super over in IPL between MI and PBKS in 2020 to Mitchell Starc’s heroics in IPL 2025 — every one of these 16 matches has produced drama that regular finishes simply cannot match.
This article covers the complete list of all super overs in IPL, season-by-season breakdowns, key records, super over rules, and team-wise performance analysis — updated through IPL 2026.

What Is A Super Over In IPL? Rules Explained
Before diving into the complete list, here is how a super over works in IPL:
A super over is triggered when both teams finish their 20 overs with identical totals. Each team then nominates three batters and one bowler for a one-over shootout. The team that batted second in the main match bats first in the super over. The innings ends if two wickets fall — even if all six balls have not been bowled. The bowler who bowled the final over of the main innings cannot bowl the super over.
How many overs in a super over? Just one — six balls per side. If the super over itself ends in a tie, another super over is played, and this process continues until a winner is determined. This rule replaced the earlier boundary count-back method, which was controversially used in the 2019 Cricket World Cup Final before being scrapped by the ICC.

How Many Super Overs In IPL History?
There have been 16 super overs in IPL history across 18 seasons (2008–2026). The 2008, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2018, 2022, 2023, and 2024 seasons did not produce a single super over. IPL 2020 holds the record for the most super overs in a single season with four, including the only double super over in IPL history.
That means roughly one in every 60 IPL matches ends in a tie — making super overs in IPL one of the rarest and most dramatic events in T20 cricket.
Season-By-Season Breakdown Of IPL Super Overs
IPL 2009 — The First Super Over In IPL History
The very first super over in IPL happened during the tournament’s only overseas edition, in Cape Town, South Africa. KKR and RR both finished on 150 after 20 overs. KKR’s Chris Gayle smashed three fours in the super over, putting up 15/1. But Yusuf Pathan — who had already delivered with both bat and ball in the main innings — hammered 18 runs off just four balls from Ajantha Mendis to seal the first-ever IPL super over victory for Rajasthan Royals.
Key performer: Yusuf Pathan — 42* in the main innings and 18 off 4 balls in the super over.
IPL 2010 — Punjab’s Chepauk Heist
CSK and KXIP were locked at 136 apiece at Chepauk. In the super over, Punjab chased down the required 10 runs in just four balls against Muttiah Muralitharan — one of the greatest spinners in cricket history — handing the home side a painful defeat.
Key performer: Rusty Theron held his nerve with the ball, conceding just nine, while Mahela Jayawardene and Yuvraj Singh guided the chase.
IPL 2013 — Two Super Overs In One Season
The 2013 season produced two super overs. In the first, SRH posted 20/0 in the super over against RCB and defended it comfortably — RCB could only manage 15/0 in response. Nine days later, RCB returned to a super over against Delhi Daredevils at Bengaluru. This time, Chris Gayle’s power helped RCB post 15/0, and their bowlers restricted DD to 11/2 to win.
Key performer: Chris Gayle (RCB) — dominant with the bat in both super over innings.
IPL 2014 — The Super Over That Was Also A Tie
The KKR vs RR clash in Abu Dhabi produced one of the strangest finishes in IPL history. Both teams scored 152 in their 20 overs, then both scored 11 in the super over. With the super over itself tied, the result was decided by boundary count — the old rule at the time — and Rajasthan Royals were declared winners for having hit more boundaries in the main match. Steve Smith’s composure under pressure was central to RR’s win.
IPL 2015 — High-Scoring Chaos In Ahmedabad
RR and KXIP tied at 191 — one of the highest tied scores in IPL super over history. The super over was one-sided: RR collapsed to 6/2 in just three balls, while KXIP chased 7 comfortably. Punjab’s power-hitting depth made the difference when it mattered.
IPL 2017 — Bumrah’s Masterclass Against Gujarat Lions
After a four-year gap, the super over returned. Gujarat Lions and MI tied at 153 in Rajkot. Jasprit Bumrah was entrusted with the super over for MI — and he delivered a masterclass. His precise yorkers restricted GL to just 6/0 in the full over, and MI chased it comfortably. This performance cemented Bumrah’s reputation as the best death-overs bowler in IPL.
Key performer: Jasprit Bumrah — conceded just 6 runs in a full super over.

IPL 2019 — Delhi Capitals And Mumbai Indians Win Super Overs
Two super overs in IPL 2019 both went to teams with elite death-bowling options. DC beat KKR at Delhi courtesy of Kagiso Rabada’s raw pace — he restricted KKR to 7/1 after DC had posted 10/1. A month later, MI beat SRH in Mumbai as Bumrah again proved he was the go-to bowler for these pressure moments, defending just 9 runs with pinpoint yorkers.
Key performers: Kagiso Rabada (DC vs KKR), Jasprit Bumrah (MI vs SRH).
IPL 2020 — The Year Of The Super Over
IPL 2020 in the UAE remains the most dramatic season in super over history, producing four tied matches — the most in any single IPL edition.
Match 1 (Sep 20): DC vs KXIP — Marcus Stoinis was the hero with both bat (53 runs) and ball (2 wickets) as DC won a tightly contested super over against Punjab. DC chased just 3 runs needed.
Match 2 (Sep 29): RCB vs MI — Both teams tied at the highest super over tied score in IPL history — 201 apiece. AB de Villiers’ fireworks in the super over (11/0) proved too much for MI, who managed only 7/1.
Match 3 (Oct 18 afternoon): SRH vs KKR — Lockie Ferguson’s pace helped KKR defend just 3 runs in the super over. SRH could manage only 2/2 in 3 balls.
Match 4 (Oct 18 evening): MI vs PBKS — The Double Super Over — This was the match that rewrote IPL history. MI and PBKS tied at 176 after 20 overs. They then tied again in the first super over at 5 runs each — making this the first and only time a double super over has been played in IPL history. In the second super over, MI posted 11/1 before Chris Gayle smashed a six off the first ball and Mayank Agarwal hit consecutive boundaries to chase it down for Punjab. Two super overs in one IPL match — and both on the same day that KKR vs SRH had already produced one.
Key performers: AB de Villiers (RCB vs MI), Marcus Stoinis (DC vs KXIP), Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal (PBKS vs MI).
IPL 2021 — Delhi Capitals’ Dominance Continues
SRH and DC tied at 159 in Chennai. DC chased 8 runs in the super over to win, with their bowlers restricting SRH to just 7/0. This was DC’s fourth super over win — establishing them as the most successful franchise in IPL super over history.
IPL 2022, 2023, 2024 — No Super Overs
Three consecutive seasons passed without a single tied match. It was the longest drought in IPL super over history, building anticipation for the format’s eventual return.
IPL 2025 — Starc’s Super Over Heroics
The drought ended at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. DC and RR tied at 188 — one of the highest tied scores in recent seasons. Mitchell Starc, who had already forced the tie by defending 9 runs in the final over, carried his form into the super over. He restricted RR to 11/2 with two run-outs, and KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs chased 12 in four balls.
Key performer: Mitchell Starc — bowled the 20th over and the super over, influencing both directly.
IPL 2026 — Narine’s Three-Ball Demolition
The most recent super over in IPL history was arguably the most one-sided. LSG and KKR tied at 155 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on April 26, 2026. Sunil Narine was handed the ball for KKR’s super over. He dismissed Nicholas Pooran on the first ball, conceded just a single, and triggered a second wicket — all within three deliveries. LSG finished at 1/2, the lowest super over score in IPL history. Rinku Singh, who had earlier smashed an unbeaten 83 off 51 in the main innings and taken four catches in the field, finished the job with a single boundary off the first ball of KKR’s response.
Key performers: Sunil Narine — 2 wickets for 1 run in 3 balls. Rinku Singh — 83* in the main innings, chased in 1 ball.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, by contrast, have lost three of their four super overs, making them the least successful regular franchise in these high-pressure moments.
Key Super Over Performers In IPL History
Some players have defined IPL super overs across eras:
Bowling: Jasprit Bumrah’s ability to deliver yorkers under pressure has made him the most feared super over bowler in IPL history, with match-winning spells in 2017 and 2019. Sunil Narine’s 2026 performance — 1/2 in three balls — is statistically the most dominant super over bowling spell ever. Kagiso Rabada’s raw pace won DC their 2019 super over, and Mitchell Starc controlled both the final over and the super over in 2025.
Batting: AB de Villiers’ explosive hitting won RCB’s 2020 super over against MI. Chris Gayle featured in super overs across franchises — hitting three fours for KKR in 2009 and smashing a first-ball six for PBKS in the 2020 double super over. Yusuf Pathan’s 18 off 4 balls in the very first IPL super over remains one of the most clinical performances under pressure.

From the first super over in Cape Town in 2009 to Sunil Narine’s three-ball demolition in Lucknow in 2026, every one of the 16 super overs in IPL history has delivered a moment that stays with fans. The format is rare, unpredictable, and unforgiving — one yorker, one boundary, or one run-out can swing the entire outcome.
As IPL 2026 continues, the possibility of another super over is always around the corner. The next time both teams finish level after 20 overs, settle in — you might witness the 17th chapter of this extraordinary list.
