gone! RCB have snatched victory! Oh no, they haven't! RP has bowled a no-ball! Chennai have won, that was short and wide and Jadeja edged it straight to third man as he tried to cut that. But the umpire Chowdhary has called it a no-ball, RP overstepped according to the umpire. RP overstepped by a big margin there, definitely a no-ball, they get a run for the overstepping and another one for the single they snatched as the catch was taken
RCB vs CSK, 16th match at Chennai, IPL, Apr 13 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
CSK won by 4 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
Jadeja has won the game for them, even as he got caught he won Chennai the game! Went down to the last ball, but how could RP slip up so badly on the last ball of the over? Kohli's expression changed in a matter of a second. He started celebrating and then looked at the umpire. He rightly called it a no-ball, what a big lapse from RP. Jadeja has snatched victory here, 16 needed off the last over and you would have thought Bangalore will prevail but that wasn't the case. We'll get you the presentation details in a bit, but still can't imagine that final delivery.
Sunil: "I thought all those tweets about Sir Jadeja were over the top , but , wow ! When Sir Jadeja wants to get a run , he really does make the bowler bowl a no ball !"
Aashay: "That, my friends, is the power of Jadeja"
Praveen: "Ground moved a little bit to convert RP Singh's correct stepping into a NO Ball.." The legend will live on...
Sundar: "Tell you what, if ever still cameras and capture change in expressions and someone took that photo of Kohli's changing expressions, he would be in for all possible photography awards. The sheer drama of sport. Wasn't RJ who snatched it out of RCB last year as well in that last over, after the assault on Kohli by Albie?"
Kohli: "It was our game to lose in the last six overs. We are relying on big partnership as of now, a few small partnerships will do good for us. RP, T20 is a game like that, I'm still proud of him."
MS Dhoni: "The performance was great, we need to improve our death bowling drastically. We didn't get off to a good start, the pressure was there on the middle order. You can't really afford to play too many dot balls, you have to be there till the 15th or 16th over to cash in."
Jadeja is the Man of the Match: "[With reference to Sir] they are just making fun in a lighter way, not a serious way. I was confident about my batting, I scored two triple-hundreds this season. I was not trying to play any silly shots, it was a good wicket."
That brings us to the end of our coverage for this game. Sidharth Monga is updating his report here. A double-header tomorrow as well, so do join us then. Take care.
2 needed off 1, we seem to be heading towards a Super Over. Jadeja to face, can he finish it off? Can RP get a wicket? They are giving him the single? The fileders are on the circle on the off side
on a length, drives it hard down the ground to long-on for a single
Not another Super Over? Wow, Morris on strike, two balls to go. A spread field, they'll give him the single
full on leg stump, drives it down wide of long-in, Kohli doesn't pick it up cleanly, two more, 3 off 2 now
slower one outside off, cut towards point for a single, he's off strike, just the single
6 needed off 4 and it's Chennai's game now
Jadeja, you beauty! This is down to the wire, another length ball from RP and he launches that clean over long-on for six
third man is up and Jadeja scores a boundary first ball though a touch fortutiously, big outside edge as he tries to go over long-on, four past short third
Rampaul completes a very good spell, 3 for 31 are impressive returns given the context. Who will bowl the last over? RP is the man, Chennai need 16
Morris flicks that past square leg for a couple to keep strike
Morris is the new man
a couple, comes down the track and cracks that through extra cover into the deep for two more runs, KL Rahul, the substitute, has done a good job so far
appeal for lbw and he's been given! Moved well across to drive that through midwicket, was struck on the pads, struck him in line there, didn't look like he inside edged it, Rampaul has taken another one, that would have hit off and middle
two more, that was in the air for a while and it seemed it would carry the distance, full outside off and he lofts that over extra cover for a couple
I called it too early when I said Dhoni's was the decisive breakthrough, you still need to get past this man, short and Bravo latches on, pulling it clean over deep midwicket for six
down the leg side, short ball down leg and Rauf calls it
Dwayne Bravo walks in now
Dhoni is gone, the decisive breakthrough you would think, length ball outside off and Dhoni tried to drive that hard into the off side, got a thick edge to the keeper
29 needed off 12, big ask but Dhoni's more than capable of achieving that. Doing some stretching with the physio in the break between overs. Gayle chimes in and has a word. Rampaul runs in
Vinay finishes the over well, full outside off and that was dug out wide of point for just the single
angling in towards middle and leg, slower one, pushes it towards long-on for a single
pitched up outside off, a couple more in front of deep point for Chennai
slower one bowled on middle, turned away past midwicket into the deep for a couple more runs
mid-off is inside the circle and he manages to find the boundary, pitched up and he lofts it over the in-field, Kohli isn't happy with Vinay
back of a length, chops that towards third man for a single
wide ball, just past that marker on the off side, called by the umpire
Vinay comes back on
Over 20 • CSK 166/6
CSK won by 4 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
