60 Runs In 4 Overs! Arshdeep Singh Creates Unwanted IPL Record Vs Rajasthan Royals
Punjab Kings’ spearhead Arshdeep Singh faced a nightmare outing in IPL 2025, as he conceded 60 runs in his 4 overs against Rajasthan Royals — one of his worst spells in IPL history.
The high-octane clash between RR and PBKS on May 18 at Jaipur saw fireworks from both ends. Batting first, Punjab Kings posted a mammoth 219/4, thanks to explosive knocks by Nehal Wadhera (70 off 37) and Shashank Singh (59 off 30)*.
Arshdeep Singh’s Expensive Spell Haunts Punjab
Despite the big total, Punjab’s bowlers were under the pump early in the chase. RR’s opening pair — Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi — laid a strong platform with a 76-run partnership, followed by a crucial 53 from Dhruv Jurel.
However, the biggest talking point was Arshdeep Singh’s horror spell:
- Overs: 4
- Runs Conceded: 60
- Wickets: 0
This marked Arshdeep’s second most expensive spell in the IPL, following his 1/66 against MI in 2023.
Arshdeep Singh’s Most Expensive IPL Spells:
| Spell | Opponent | Year |
|---|---|---|
| 1/66 | MI | 2023 |
| 0/60 | RR | 2025 |
| 1/54 | LSG | 2023 |
| 1/52 | CSK | 2024 |
| 2/47 | RR | 2023 |
PBKS Still Win Despite Arshdeep’s Off Day
Even though Arshdeep had a forgettable performance, Harpreet Brar’s 3-wicket haul proved to be the game-changer. With 22 needed in the final over, Rajasthan crumbled under pressure and fell short by 10 runs.
IPL 2025 Points Table Impact:
- PBKS: Climbed to 2nd place with a vital win
- RCB: Remain table-toppers
- RR: Slumped to 9th, officially out of playoff contention with 10 losses in 13 matches
Despite the unwanted record, Arshdeep Singh remains a vital cog in Punjab’s bowling unit. With the playoffs looming, PBKS will hope he regains form quickly.
