Sandeep Sharma pulled off a brilliant yorker on the last ball of the match to keep MS Dhoni quiet as Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings by three runs at the Chepauk. Dhoni was ins spectacular form and smoked three sixes during his quickfire innings of 32 from 17 balls and was well-supported by Ravindra Jadeja who made a blistering 25 off 15 in the 176-run chase, but eventually, it was RR pacer Sandeep Sharma who had the last laugh.

In the last over CSK needed 21 more to win the match and with Dhoni and Jadeja going great guns, the task looked quite achievable. To make the matter worse for RR, Dhoni smashed two back-to-back sixes on the second and third deliveries of the over after Sandeep started with two wides and a dot ball. Both sixes were hit on low full tosses as the bowler missed his mark.
This is when Sandeep Sharma mounted a comeback. With seven needed from the last three balls, he bowled a length ball which resulted in one run. On the penultimate ball, he executed a wide yorker to restrict Jadeja to just a single.
The RR bowler had no room for error on the last ball with Dhoni on strike. CSK needed five more to win but Sandeep Sharma produced an excellent yorker to give away just one run.
