CSK's Ravindra Jadeja's last-ball Last-Ball Win: A New Chapter in IPL History

CSK's Ravindra Jadeja's last-ball Last-Ball Win: A New Chapter in IPL History The IPL championship game was shortened to 15 overs due to rain delays on Monday night. Despite not being a T20 or T10 format, the Chennai Super Kings emerged victorious over their opponents, achieving a nail-biting victory off the final ball with five wickets in hand. The thrilling game concluded at 1.30 am on Tuesday in front of a packed crowd in Ahmedabad, with Ravindra Jadeja scoring the necessary 10 runs off the last two balls. In the reduced overs game, there was a lot of pressure on both bowlers and batters. Due to batters having only a limited number of overs to score runs, the powerplay was filled with aggressive play. Although the bowlers Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya were unable to create much movement, the leg-spinner Rashid Khan was unable to generate any turn in the ball. Despite the opposition's best efforts, Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad managed to score 52 runs without losing any wickets in just four overs. As a result, CSK only required 119 runs in the remaining 11 overs with all wickets still intact, which was a quite achievable target in a T20 game. Despite GT's valiant effort, they couldn't win the game. Similar to Chennai Super Kings, the key to Gujarat Titans' achievements is their consistency. However, they have been trying out different players at the No. 3 batting position. One such player is Sai Sudharsan, a 21-year-old left-handed batsman who has only played in half of GT's matches. Sudharsan displayed promise early on, but he came through when it mattered most, with a remarkable innings of 96 off just 47 balls, featuring eight fours and six sixes. A declaration directed at his team, explaining why he deserved more playing time, and addressing CSK, the franchise from his hometown who previously overlooked him despite his time with their junior team in TNPL.  Sudharsan comes from a family with a background in sports, as his father R Bharadwaj was a former India sprinter and his mother Usha played volleyball. GT selected him for a base prize of ₹20 lakh prior to IPL 2022. Sudharsan showed great fluency with the bat from the moment he stepped onto the pitch in the eighth over following Shubman Gill’s dismissal. He hit two impressive sixes off Maheesh Theekshana in the 15th over, one from a full toss and the other in the direction of cow corner. The left-hander reached his half-century in the subsequent over, having taken just 33 deliveries to do so. CSK’s powerplay bowling was uninspiring until Sudharsan arrived at the crease. The bowlers had a tendency to bowl down leg or pitch it too full. A sharp catch taken by Dhoni off Ravindra Jadeja helped slow GT down, sending Shubhman Gill (39) back to the pavilion. GT had reached 86/1 mid-innings, but the pitch was too flat for CSK’s spinners to gain control in the middle overs. The spin duo, consisting of Theekshana and Jadeja, conceded 74 runs in 8 overs. Though it seems distant, Sudharsan managed to control Anrich Nortje's speed on a difficult Ferozeshah Kotla surface during the beginning of IPL 2023. In his undefeated score of 62, he executed the ramp and scoop shots against Nortje's rapid pace. However, during the previous game against Mumbai Indians, Sudharsan's pace decelerated in the final overs, resulting in a retired out for the impressive Rashid Khan. Nevertheless, he rectified this issue in the current game. In the 17th over, he opened up some space and endeavored to reverse scoop Tushar Deshpande over short fineleg. Although the six was a result of a leading edge, Sudharsan's aim was evident. Subsequently, by using an innovative approach to unsettle Deshpande, the bowler began to deliver wider balls. Three consecutive boundaries ensued as the left-handed batsman exploited the gaps resulting from Deshpande's wider delivery. These gaps were located on both sides of mid-off, as well as through covers. This consequential 20-run over provided the required momentum for GT's late inning's attack. Unfortunately for Deshpande, he couldn't stop the flow of runs and leaked an additional 18 runs in his subsequent over, which Pandya capitalized on to maximum effect. Sudharsan's assault persisted during the last over, facing off against Pathirana, esteemed as one of the finest death-over bowlers in the tournament. Sudharsan anticipated everything, standing close to the crease. The Malinga-copy missed his aim twice, resulting in Sudharsan scoring two sixes. In the third ball, Pathirana finally delivered a yorker, ending Sudharsan's excellent innings just four runs shy of a hundred. Nevertheless, Sudharsan's captain approved of his performance, and the two players fist-bumped as Sudharsan basked in the applause of the audience. In the final five overs, GT scored 71 runs, bringing their total score to 214. Read the full article
