The Game went down the wire and CSK needed 13 runs off the last over. Mohit Sharma, who had bowled two brilliant overs, started the proceedings well as he execute his yorkers brilliantly and conceded just 3 runs in the first four balls. With 10 runs needed in the last two balls, not many had given CSK a chance.

IPL Final: “MS has been really supportive and proactive in getting him up there,” says Stephen Fleming on Ravindra Jadeja
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming also lauded Ravindra Jadeja for his performances. He said that skipper MS Dhoni has supported him a lot and he repaid the faith. He pointed out the six that he hit on the penultimate ball of the game and said that he’s a gun player. He explained:
“MS has been really supportive and proactive in getting him up there and today he repaid that faith. The six, in particular, off a ball that was very close to perfect was defining, and then a good left-hander straight drive through fine leg was a great way to finish it. I couldn’t be more happy for him. Yeah, there has been some frustration at times, but he is a gun player. No.1 ranked player and today he delivered.”
Ravindra Jadeja, who picked 20 wickets in the IPL, will now head to England, where he will join the India team for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia from 7th June.
