1. CSK Vs. RCB at Chennai, 2013:
Can anyone imagine a match where both teams end up celebrating victory after the last ball of the match is bowled? Well, definitely not but such was the scene in the thrilling encounter between the two teams in 2013. Batting first on a track tilted in favour of the batsmen, RCB managed to post a total of 165 runs on the board, courtesy of a superb cameo from AB de Villiers. In reply, CSK kept on losing wickets but victory never seemed out of reach for them. Ultimately with things getting down to the wire, it was 2 required off the last ball when RP Singh bowled a bouncer outside off, which Ravindra Jadeja managed to upper cut and eventually the ball was caught in the third man region. RCB men erupted in triumph when it was noticed that umpire had signalled the delivery as a no ball, thus leading to CSK’s victory.
Match Summary – RCB: 165/6 in 20 overs(De Villiers 64, Morris 3/40)
