Canadian quick commits cardinal sin to gift USA blaster a life - immediately cops a tonking
A nightmare for Jeremy Gordon - and Andriese Gous made him pay!
It didn’t finish until 1.30am but Chennai Super Kings won a sensational Indian Premier League final against the defending champion Gujarat Titans off the final ball.
Chennai were almost denied by medium-pacer Mohit Sharma in the final over, moving from favourites to needing 10 runs off the last two balls.
But Sharma got his length wrong and Ravindra Jadeja hit a six, then got his line wrong and Jadeja hit a four to pull off a stunning win.
Victory gave Chennai a record-equalling fifth title in front of a patient 75,000 crowd.
They appeared in control as they chased a reduced total of 175 under the DLS method, after rain once again interrupted proceedings.
The final was washed out on Sunday and it didn’t finally finish until after 1:30 am local time on Tuesday.
Chennai wobbled when captain MS Dhoni was caught first ball off Sharma with 22 still left.
But Shivam Dubey (32 not out) and, spectacularly, Jadeja (15 not out) saw them home.
Earlier, Gujarat made 4-214 when they were put in, thanks to 96 by Sai Sudharsan.
Rain halted Chennai’s chase in their first over for nearly two and a half hours, reducing their target to 171 in 15 overs.
In the end, Chennai needed every ball.
