"I don't see the board move," the third umpire said before sharing the final verdict on the big screen. While CSK skipper Dhoni was all smiles, head coach Stephen Fleming breathed a great sigh of relief after the umpire gave Jitesh his marching orders. Dhoni and Fleming's epic reactions have also garnered the attention of several fans on social media. Though Rasheed produced a match-altering moment, his fielding heroics failed to help CSK in defeating PBKS at home.

PBKS needed 11 off 6 balls after pacer Tushar Deshpande conceded a boundary on the final ball of his 19th over. Guiding Dhawan and Co. to a famous win over CSK, all-rounder Sikandar Raza hit the winning runs on the final ball of the contest. Dhawan's PBKS side has secured the fifth spot on the IPL 2023 points after defeating fourth-placed CSK by 4 wickets at Chepauk.

"Everytime you win a match for your team it's a good feeling. I was just looking at a lot of arms being raised in the dressing room (discussion with umpires before final ball). No idea. Maybe it was about retiring one of the guys. I don't know. We said we were one boundary away from run a ball (in the final over), and if we can't get that, we'll run well," Raza said after the match.
