IPL 2025: Romario Shepherd Blitz Lifts RCB To 213/5 After Disciplined CSK Bowling
Indian Premier League: Romario Shepherd produced one of the most destructive finishes of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, slamming a 14-ball half-century to lift Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to a mammoth 213/5 against Chennai Super Kings at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday.
Coming in after RCB had lost momentum in the middle overs, Shepherd tore into CSK’s most trusted death bowlers – Khaleel Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana – smashing four fours and six sixes en route to the joint second-fastest fifty in IPL history. Only Yashasvi Jaiswal's 13-ball fifty has been quicker.
The West Indian all-rounder turned the tide in the 19th over, hammering Khaleel for 33 runs that included sixes over deep midwicket, long-on, and short fine leg, as well as a no-ball swatted over extra cover. The Chinnaswamy crowd, momentarily silenced after the wickets of Kohli, Padikkal, and Jitesh, erupted into bedlam as Shepherd reignited the innings.
