CSK vs RR: “Absolutely Hats Off to Him”- Brett Lee on Sandeep Sharma’s Last Over against MS Dhoni

CSK vs RR: Rajasthan Royals’ pacer Sandeep Sharma defended 21 runs in the last over of the CSK vs RR game against MS Dhoni. Former Australian pacer Brett Lee applauded Sandeep Sharma’s brilliant bowling in the final over as he backed his plan to bowl yorkers against MS Dhoni who was looking threatening.

Sandeep Sharma started off the final over against MS Dhoni with two wide deliveries and then was smashed for a couple of sixes. After the back-to-back sixes, Chennai Super Kings needed just 7 runs off the last 3 deliveries and the balance of the game clearly shifted towards CSK as MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja were hitting boundaries with ease.

“I like what he said in his post-match interview about how over the wicket wasn’t working, so he came around the wicket. But you’re right. It’s right within his arc, that sweet spot, and if he missed it by an inch, it would have gone for six,” Brett Lee said on Jio Cinema.

CSK vs RR: “Sandeep Sharma closed out the CSK vs RR game under pressure” – Brett Lee

“Full credit to Sandeep Sharma, bowling with a wet ball to MS Dhoni who is on fire, they’ve got the whole crowd against them. He closed out the game under pressure and that is absolutely hats off to him to win by three runs,” the former Australian pacer applauded Sandeep Sharma’s efforts.

Sandeep Sharma switched to round the wicket angle for the last three deliveries and backed his plan to bowl yorkers against MS Dhoni. There was a significant amount of dew in Chennai which could have made bowling perfect Yorkers all the more difficult for the Rajasthan Royals’ pacer.

However, Sandeep Sharma was successful in defending those 7 runs off the last three deliveries as he perfectly nailed yorkers from the round-the-wicket angle. Chennai Super Kings could only score three singles as they fell short of the Rajasthan Royals’ total by 3 runs.

After winning the CSK vs RR game, Sandeep Sharma said that he wanted to deliver the Yorkers in the last over against MS Dhoni. He changed the angle to round the wicket as he had missed the mark a couple of times while bowling from the over-the-wicket angle.
