In the decisive final of the Delhi Premier League 2026, South Delhi Superstarz' star pacer Anshuman Hooda faced an unexpected predicament. The left-arm bowler, already a tournament standout with a leading tally of wickets, was barred from bowling after delivering two no-balls that elevated above his waistline. With South Delhi vying for the Purple Cap, Hooda had been a key weapon in the Superstarz' bowling lineup throughout the season.
The incident, captured in the DPL's official video, showed the pacer unable to resume his bowling duties following the infringement. Despite this setback, Hooda continued to make his mark in the championship encounter. He claimed a single wicket as South Delhi managed to restrict Central Delhi Kings to a modest 182/8. In the end, South Delhi secured a memorable seven-wicket triumph, reaching their target of 183 in just 18.2 overs and clinching the DPL 2026 trophy.
While Hooda's bowling ban created a dramatic moment in the final, his overall contributions remained a significant talking point in South Delhi's victorious campaign.
