Chennai Super Kings needed 26 runs off the final over, MS Dhoni was on strike, he proceeded to smash three sixes and a boundary, but missed out on the final ball as Parthiv Patel ran Shardul Thakur out to prevent a bye. RCB scraped home by 1 run to keep their campaign alive, but it was a match which went down to the proverbial wire.

“A whole lot of emotion. We were outstanding with the ball until the 19th over mark. Defending 160 on that sort of pitch and the amount of dew we had was an outstanding effort. On the last ball, that was the last thing I would’ve expected to happen. Feels good to win a game by a small margin. We’ve lost a couple by small margins,” RCB skipper Virat Kohli said after the match.
