Updated - 13 Oct 2019, 02:58 PM

The final over of the game between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings on Friday has made many spectators smell something fishy.  Such was the turn and twists in the over that the spectators just could not believe it could be true.  In fact, the way Chennai Super Kings fought back in the game and eventually won it, the whole game was full of thrills.  Asked to bat first, the Royals were off to a stuttering start.

Ajinkya Rahane and Jos Buttler did manage to add 31 runs for the first wicket but the floodgates opened up once the former departed.  At one stage, the Royals were reeling at 78 for 5. Ben Stokes (28) and the lower-order batsman then scored some handy runs to help the Royals put up a competitive total of 151 for 7. With much not on the board, the Royals needed a solid start with the bat and they did get one.

Dhawal Kulkarni dismissed the dangerous Shane Watson for a duck in the very first over.

In the next over, Suresh Raina was run out before Jaydev Unadkat dismissed Faf du Plessis to reduce the defending champions to 15 for 3. 9 runs later, Ben Stokes took a stunner to send back Kedar Jadhav packing.

But before the Royals could make further inroads in the game, MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu brought the chase on track by adding 95 runs. Stokes ended the stand by dismissing Rayudu but Dhoni went on to wage a lone battle. The equation was finally down to 18 from the last over and Ravindra Jadeja somehow managed to hit the first ball for six despite losing his balance and falling onto the ground. The second ball was a no ball before Dhoni took a single to break down the equation to 8 off 4 balls. Stokes then knocked over Dhoni in the third delivery to leave 8 off 3.

Just when we thought the drama was over, the main umpire signalled a no ball in the fourth delivery and then all of a sudden backed out. It led to wild scenes as the ever-calm Dhoni stormed onto the pitch to vent his anger.

Mitchell Santner then kept his calm and hit a six on the final ball when Chennai Super Kings needed 3 to pull off a spectacular win for his team.

Since the game ended, quite a huge number of fans have taken to social media to allege that something did not feel right about the game. Those allegations has only tarnished the image of the league which is nothing less than a big asset for India. And to just make you all believe that dramatic ends in T20s are common, we have dug deep to find a video of a game which was even more dramatic then the one between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.

During last year’s T20 Blast in England, Durham had registered an incredible win over Lancashire.  Chasing 154, Durham were 130 for 4 and looking set for a win. They finally needed 6 runs off the last over with six wickets in hand. However, 19-year-old spinner Liam Trevaskis dismissed James Faulkner and Matt Parkinson and Danny Lamb to pull off a miraculous win.

Here is a clip of that final over:
