Needing 17 runs off the final over, skipper Ashwin threw the ball to young Rehman to close the game for his side.

After a mixed start to the over, the young man responded well to the pressure scenario and defending five runs off the final ball claimed the wicket of Iyer to help his side clinch a thrilling four-run win.

It was a gamble that Ashwin took to throw the ball to the 16-year-old and it proved to be successful in the end.
