Ravindra Jadeja (15*) knew an attempted yorker was to arrive yet again. He stood deep into his crease, waiting in bated breath for Mohit Sharma to make an error. He did err, although fractionally. But, it was enough for the allrounder to send it beyond the long-on fence.
Having nearly nailed each of the four previous yorkers and conceding four singles off them, no way Sharma was going for his well-disguised slower delivery based on the recency bias of a couple of minutes ago.
He had to go for the yorker again with Jadeja standing tall wearing the ‘nothing to lose’ look on his face. Sharma fires in the attempted yorker. However, it is delivered as a low full toss on the pads. The southpaw’s eyes lit up. He just had to tickle the ball past the short fine leg fielder. And he did!
Sir Jadeja Hits Four Off Mohit Sharma To Create Historic CSK Winning Moment
Jadeja knew it. CSK knew it. A stone-faced MS Dhoni in the dug out knew it. The ‘Yellow Army’ have clinched a last-ball thriller at the Narendra Modi Stadium by 5 wickets (DLS method). The defending champions have been humbled twice in the playoffs. But most importantly, Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings have lifted their fifth IPL title.
As Jadeja goes for the celebratory run, in storm the rest of his teammates. We also see Dhoni lifting him up in his arms in what was the purest moment of unadulterated joy for the veteran. On the other hand, camera pans towards Hardik Pandya, who is seen consoling a dejected Mohit Sharma on his haunches.
Earlier, the chase could not have been possible without the contribution of each of CSK’s top-5 batters, beginning with a 74-run partnership between Devon Conway (47) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (26). Each of Shivam Dube (32*), Ajinkya Rahane (27), and the man playing his final IPL match, Ambati Rayudu (19) made sure that their side kept up with the required run rate throughout the chase of 171.
