Nandani Sharma produced one of the most dramatic overs in Women’s Premier League history, ripping apart the opposition with a hat-trick and four wickets in a single over, eventually finishing with a sensational five-wicket haul.
The carnage unfolded in the final over of the innings. After already picking up two wickets, Nandani struck in quick succession, sending batters back on consecutive deliveries and completing a stunning hat-trick. The sequence left the batting side in complete disarray as wickets kept tumbling with barely a pause.
The collapse began when Kanika Ahuja was beaten by flight and stumped smartly by Lizelle Lee, handing Nandani her third wicket. Moments later, Gayakwad was bowled for a duck, undone by a straight delivery that rattled the stumps. With pressure mounting, Renuka Singh walked in only to be castled first ball, sealing the hat-trick and sparking wild celebrations.
Nandani wasn’t done yet. She added another wicket in the same over, making it four wickets in six balls, before earlier dismissals in the over completed a remarkable spell that rewrote WPL records. The final delivery confirmed her place in history as she became only the second Indian bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in the Women’s Premier League.
What made the performance even more extraordinary was the timing. Coming in an over where batters usually look to attack, Nandani flipped the script completely, using variations in pace, length, and subtle movement to outthink every batter she faced.
A hat-trick, four wickets in an over, and a five-for—this was a spell that will be replayed for years, firmly establishing Nandani Sharma’s night as one of the most unforgettable moments in WPL history.
