Brett Lee, a former all-rounder for Australia, said that Rajasthan Royals bowler Sandeep Sharma did a great job in their IPL 2023 match against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday. In a last-ball thriller, RR beat CSK by three runs thanks to Sandeep Sharma’s amazing final over.
MS Dhoni and the rest of the team had to beat RR by 176 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK could only get to 172 for 6 in 20 overs while trying to reach the goal. When CSK needed five runs off of one ball, Sandeep kept his cool and stopped Dhoni from getting a boundary.
Brett Lee praised Sandeep Sharma a lot when he talked to JioCinema, which has the digital media rights for the IPL in 2023. He said that Sandeep Sharma won the game because he bowled well with a wet ball against the famous MS Dhoni.
“I liked what he said in his talk after the game about how going over the wicket wasn’t working, so he went around it. You’re right, though. It’s right in the sweet spot of his swing, and if he missed it by an inch, it would have gone for a home run. Full credit goes to Sandeep Sharma for throwing a wet ball at MS Dhoni, who is on fire. The crowd is against them because of this. “He finished the game when he was under a lot of pressure, so hats off to him for winning by three runs,” Lee said.
The killing of Sandeep Sharma should be noted: RP Singh
RP Singh, who is also an IPL expert for JioCinema, was pleased by Sandeep’s performance in the last over, especially since he had a bad start. The former India star said that the 29-year-old bowler knew that Dhoni would punish him with a six if he made even a small mistake. RP Singh said that Sandeep kept that in mind and did a good job, so he should be praised for his work.
“It started with two wides, then a dot ball, and then two sixes. When the sixes were hit, the pressure was sure to catch up. Back then, you had to stand up for yourself. We have heard Dhoni say over and over again that he will strike a bowler with a six for every mistake he makes.
“He always does that to the bowler, so you can picture what Sandeep Sharma’s mind was like. He knew that if he made even a small mistake, this hitter would hit a home run. How well he did it is something that should be noticed.”
