IPL 2017: Top 5 last ball finishes

#4 Deccan Chargers vs Kolkata Knight Riders – 2009

Rohit Sharma’s cameo was most helpful for the Chargers

IPL 2 took place in South Africa and it was capital Johannesburg that witnessed a thriller. KKR posted 160 on the board, with Brad Hodge top scoring with 48. Adam Gilchrist, skipper of Deccan Chargers led from the front and scored a quick 43 but it was hitman Rohit Sharma’s cameo that was most helpful for the Chargers.

The equation was – 28 needing off 12. KKR captain Brendon McCullum trusted Ajit Agarkar with the ball. The veteran Indian responded well, leaking only 7. With 21 required in the last over, Bangladesh’s Mashrafe Mortaza was expected to defend it.

But Rohit Sharma had other plans. The now Mumbai Indians batsman hit a four on the first ball of the over, and a couple of deliveries later, he smashed a 115m six over mid-wicket. On the 5^th ball, he hit a four and the last ball was a huge six. Sharma hit an unbeaten 13-ball 26.
