Rajasthan Royals’ Fazlak Farooqui IPL makes unwanted records in 2025

In a challenging season for Rajasthan Royals (RR), Pesar Fazal Farooqui has made the headlines for an unfortunate reason in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). During four matches in the IPL 2025 season, Farooqui bowled a total of 17 overs without claiming a single wicket, accepting 210 runs in the process with a high economy rate of 12.35. This is the highest by a bowler without taking any wicket in IPL history. The previous record was organized by IPL 2017 by Ishant Sharma.Interestingly, between 1 January 2024 and the beginning of IPL 2025, he was the highest wicket -taking of the men’s T20 with Vanindu Hasranga (89).Farooqui, which is both known for its ability to swing the ball in both ways, was expected to increase the bowling attack of Royals, but he has failed to distribute to Royals.

Despite this thick patch, it is worth noting that Farooqui has had significant success in other tournaments. He was the highest wicket -taker of the 2024 ICC men’s T20 World Cup and recorded the best bowling figures in the ILT20 history with a 5/16 performance against Dubai Capital in January 2025.Earlier, Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh hit a fine half -century to save Punjab Kings and on Sunday assisted the competitive 219 against Rajasthan Royals. PBKS, currently at 15 points and in a good position to make playoffs, was reduced to 34/3 in the fourth over only with RR’s right hand pacer Tushar Deshpande (2/37), who was getting rid of Priyash Arya (9) and Prabasimran Singh (21), who got rid of openers.Who is that IPL player?But Wadhera peeped towards 37-gent 70, with five borders and several sixes, and a fourth-wicket partnership of 67 runs with skipper Shreyas Iyer (30).Wadhera, who hit in his third half of the season, was also in the fifth wicket stand of 58 runs with Shashank Singh (59 Not out, 30 balls).A fit-firm Sanju Samson returned to lead Rajasthan Royals and replaced Nitish Rana in XI. Kwena Maphaka was prepared in place of Jofra Archer.
