Over 19.3 saw Dwayne Bravo on strike as the batsmen crossed before the catch was taken. Vinay Kumar bowled, a no-ball, a very high full toss above the waist which Bravo almost hit for a six as the ball dropped just short of the boundary rope. Bravo hit a six off the very next ball making things easier for CSK. That one legal delivery effectively gave away 11 runs turning the match in the favour of CSK, who then needed 3 from last 3 balls.

2018:

Over 19.1 saw another high full toss above the waistline from Vinay Kumar and Bravo edged it for a six over fine leg. The no-ball was followed by a free-hit which Bravo could not convert into a boundary but got two useful runs. Effectively the first delivery of the final over gave away 9 runs, making the target a gettable 8 off 5 balls.
