During the IPL 2025 clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), young leg-spinner Suyash Sharma created a light-hearted moment that quickly made waves among fans. It occurred in the 12th over of DC’s innings, as Sharma bowled to Axar Patel, the Delhi skipper. With the match finely poised, tensions were high—but Sharma found a moment to inject some cheeky humor.
On one delivery, Axar went for a big shot down the ground but missed completely, the ball zipping past his bat outside the off-stump. Suyash, full of confidence and in control of his spell, responded with a sly smile and a mock gesture, teasing Axar for the mistimed swing. The moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral for its playful nature.
But Axar Patel didn’t let the dig slide unanswered. On the very next ball, he calmly adjusted and flicked a short delivery down the leg side to the fine leg boundary for four. The shot served as a fitting reply to Sharma’s banter, showing the experience and composure of the DC captain even under pressure.
Despite conceding the boundary, Suyash Sharma maintained his composure and continued to bowl tightly. He finished his spell with economical figures of 0/22 from his four overs—no wickets, but plenty of discipline and confidence for a young spinner in a high-pressure match.

His performance, and especially his animated moment with Axar, didn’t go unnoticed. RCB stalwart Virat Kohli was seen encouraging the youngster, appreciating his fearless attitude and willingness to engage in the contest. While Sharma may not have made a dent on the scorecard with wickets, his energy and character left a mark on the game.
