IPL 2017: Top 5 last ball finishes

#1 Rising Pune Supergiant v Kings XI Punjab – 2016

16 was needed in 3 balls and Dhoni hit a four and two sixes to seal the deal

The Rising Pune Supergiant were wooden spooners of IPL 2016, and by the time this game was played, they were down and out of the tournament. But just like their then-skipper MS Dhoni, the outfit wanted to finish off their 2016 campaign in style.

Chasing 173 for the win, the RPS were struggling as they lost wickets in quick succession. MS Dhoni found himself battling alone, with 23 needed from the last over. The ball was given to Axar Patel, and Dhoni refused a single on the first ball and the next ball was a wide.

The equation then looked daunting - 22 off 5, but then began the vintage finisher Dhoni’s sixes. Dhoni hit a maximum over long on in the 3^rd ball. In the next, he flat-batted one over covers but Hashim Amla stopped the ball on the boundary to give no runs to Dhoni.

16 was needed in 3 balls and Dhoni hit a four and two sixes to seal the deal. The captain finished with 64 off just 32 balls. which is one of the best finishes in cricket history.
