A Strange but Memorable Moment
Cricket often surprises us. In the Kerala Cricket League 2025, Sanju Samson achieved something almost unheard of—scoring 13 runs off a single delivery against the Thrissur Titans at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram
How It Happened
Samson faced a no-ball and hit it for six. That also gave him a free hit, and he cleared the ropes again for another six.
With the no-ball run added, the scoreboard showed 13 runs coming in the space of that single delivery.
Total = 1 (no-ball) + 6 (no-ball hit) + 6 (free-hit six) = 13 runs
Why It Stands Out
Such moments are rarely seen in cricket. Overthrows sometimes bring 5 or 6 runs, but reaching 13 from one delivery is extremely rare.
This unusual event makes it one of the standout moments of the Kerala Cricket League, and it ensures Sanju Samson’s name will be linked with it for a long time.
The Bigger Picture
For Samson, this won’t make a major change to his overall records. But it does give him a unique milestone that fans will remember.
Incidents like these remind us why cricket remains exciting — not just for big scores or records, but also for rare, unpredictable moments that keep the game alive in memory.
