The marathon game lasted five hours and four minutes, requiring a double Super Over shootout to decide the winner. The IPL 2023 matches between the Delhi Capitals and the Kolkata Knight Riders, as well as RCB vs Gujarat Titans, also registered a higher run-time than last night’s contest, at 4 hours 50 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes, respectively. However, both games started late due to weather restrictions. The first ball was bowled way past the designated start time of 7:30 PM IST.Also Read: BCCI serves notice to Romi Bhinder – RR manager used mobile for medical emergency; lungs had collapsed, was hospitalisedRCB vs GT (2023) – about 4h 38mMI vs RCB (2026) – about 4h 22mCSK vs MI (2018) – about 4h 15mMI vs PBKS (2019) – about 4h 11mMI vs PBKS, 2019 – 4h 11mCSK vs RR, 2019 – 4h 11mLSG vs CSK, 2025 – 4h 00mCSK vs LSG, 2024 – 4h 00mSurprisingly, neither captain – Hardik Pandya or Rajat Patidar – has been fined by the BCCI, a surprising call given how strict it is with over rates.
