Shivam Singh, who came to bowl the 49th over for Uttar Pradesh, hit his first two deliveries for a six over mid-on. Ruthuraj hit the 3rd ball for a six over mid-wicket and hit the 4th ball for a six over mid-off. Then the fifth ball was a no ball and Ruthuraj hit that ball at mid-off for a six. Gaikwad, who hit a six in the free hit, hit the 6th ball over mid-off. Thus, a record 43 runs were scored in the 49th over.
