On Wednesday, April 12, Sandeep Sharma had steel nerves in the last-ball thriller against MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings, which led to the Rajasthan Royals beating them by only three runs. After the exciting game between the two teams, the 29-year-old pacer talked about how he planned to beat the other team’s captain, MS Dhoni, in the final over.
Both teams had times when they were in charge of the game, which made it a very tense match that went right down to the wire. After RR kept getting wickets, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and captain Dhoni led the team toward a possible win with their powerful hitting.
Dhoni, who is probably one of the best finishers of all time, was up against the fast bowler Sandeep Sharma. They needed 21 runs in six balls. The pacer for RR threw two wides in a row and then a dot to finish the first ball.
But the 41-year-old CSK hitter hit two sixes right after each other to keep his team in the chase. The other team’s captain could only get a single with Sandeep’s third delivery, which was outside off. Dhoni kept the strike for the exciting last ball by throwing a well-placed yorker at Jadeja on the second-to-last ball.
Sandeep showed how good he was when he hit the yorker, which led to Rajasthan’s victory in the exciting game. During the introduction after the game, the pacer told everyone what his plan was for the last over against Dhoni.
“In the last over, I wanted to bowl the yorkers. In the nets, I was bowling good yorkers. The leg side was big, but I missed my spot and bowled a couple of low full tosses that both went for sixes. Then I tried a different approach, and it worked. I threw the ball to Jadeja because I didn’t want him to be able to get it,” Sandeep said.
On Sunday, April 16, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Rajasthan Royals are set to play the reigning champions, the Gujarat Titans. In Sunday’s big game, Sanju Samson and his team will try to keep up their good form and stay on top of the points table by getting another win.
