CSK vs RR: “Wanted to Deliver Yorkers”- Sandeep Sharma Reveals His Plans in Last Over Against MS Dhoni

CSK vs RR: The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League has already given us some incredible games of cricket, and the game on Wednesday was one prime example of that. Chennai Super Kings locked horns with Rajasthan Royals at the Chepauk Stadium in the 17th game of the season. It turned out to be another nail-biter, with RR clinching a thrilling win. But it was not easy, especially when MS Dhoni was at the crease in a run chase. However, Sandeep Sharma held his nerve in the end.

He bowled three perfect Yorkers on the last three balls and helped RR win the game. CSK needed 21 runs off the final over, and Sandeep bowled two wides. But Dhoni smashed two sixes off the first three balls, and the equation came down to 7 off 3. The 29-year-old bowled two yorkers on the next balls, and CSK needed five off the last ball.
