CSK vs RR, Match 17, Last Over: In the last few matches in the 16th season of IPL, the thrill of the last over is being seen continuously at a different level. Something similar was seen in the match played between Chennai and Rajasthan. In the last over of this match, the Chennai team needed 21 runs to win, out of which Dhoni made the match very exciting by hitting 2 consecutive sixes in 2 balls. Although later the Rajasthan team definitely won this match by 3 runs, but Dhoni once again held the beats of all the spectators.
Chasing the target of 176 runs in this match, the team of Chennai Super Kings had lost its 6 wickets till the score of 113 at one time. After this, Dhoni along with Jadeja handled the innings and tried to take the team towards victory. Together they took the score to 155 runs at the end of 19 overs.
But one thing is for sure when Dhoni is batting in the last over and his team requires 20 runs. It’s the bowler who is under pressure not Dhoni… #legend
