Sharjah cricket stadium wicket was Ranevra, the boundary was quite small on one side. The batters of the two teams were killed after having such an opportunity. The Rajasthan Royals lost to Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings in a rain soaked match.
Rajasthan scored 216 runs with the explosive bat of Sanju Samson and Steven Smith. In response, Chennai had to stop for 200 runs after playing 20 overs. Chennai hit 16 sixes against Rajasthan’s 16 sixes. This is the combined record of 33 sixes in a match in the IPL. In 2016, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai also saw 33 sixes in the match in Bangalore.
Sanju of Rajasthan has achieved the most sixes in both matches. The right-handed batter lost three balls and scored 64 runs on just 32 balls with nine sixes and one four. 4 sixes of 48 balls to open for the first time, 69 runs came from Smith’s bat in 4 limits. In the end, Joffra Archer made a 26-run storm with just 6 balls.
However, the responsibility of Chennai bowlers is no less. Especially the protea pacemaker Lungi Engidi gave 30 runs in the last over. In the same end, he did not give up the ball when he made two passes in a row, and he also did it wide. Piyush Chawla, the leg-turning hero from the previous match, was badly beaten.
The storm was necessary from the beginning to chase the race. Murali Vijay, Shane Watson took time to bring that storm. It didn’t last long after Watson started hitting. Leg spinner Rahul Tewatia stopped them and took the reins of the game. Another bowler, Shreyas Gopal, also contributed to the hostile environment for bowlers.
Chennai looked at Faf du Plessis with all hope, playing with time at first. He wasn’t completely disappointed, but he couldn’t finish the job. He did 6 sixes and two steps on 36 balls. Chennai didn’t match the nearly impossible 48-run equation in the final two overs.
Seeing Dhoni, he looked like his own shadow. Nemei couldn’t meet the demand to be aggressive. In the end, she hit three sixes in a row. But by then Budd it was too late. Dhoni’s 29 of 16 balls has only fattened his hit rate in statistics.
