Sandeep Sharma deserves a lot of credit for hitting two yorkers, one outside off stump to Jadeja and one to Dhoni, when CSK needed six runs from two balls. And he did that after Dhoni had muscled him into two sixes in the previous over.
“You have to give the boys credit. The bowlers maintained a calm demeanour towards the end and bowled all around well; we likewise clutched our gets. I don’t remember Chepauk well; I’ve never won here, and I wanted to win today. Zampa was brought in as the impact player because the ball was grabbing. “The thought was if we can get out of the powerplay without giving away too much, then we have the spinners to do the job,” Samson stated after the match. “We had a good powerplay with Rutu getting out.
