Top 10 best finishes in IPL history

1. RPS v KXIP (IPL 2016) – 23 needed in the last over:

The Rising Pune Supergiants were down and out of the tournament but had their pride at stake when took on Kings XI Punjab in their last league match in the 2016 edition. Chasing 173 for the win, the RPS were stuttering as they lost wickets in heaps. Such precarious was the situation that MS Dhoni found himself battling alone, with 23 needed off the last over. Axar Patel was given the ball in hand. Dhoni refused the single on the first ball. The next one came as a wide. 22 off 5 was looking daunting and then Dhoni hit a maximum over long on. On the next ball, he flat-batted one over covers and thought it was a certain boundary. However, Hashim Amla stopped it on the boundary and it turned out to be a dot. 16 was needed in 3 balls and Dhoni then hit a four and a couple of sixes to seize the game for RPS. The skipper finished with 64 off just 32 balls to register one of the best finishes in cricket history.

Last over – 0, wd, 6, 0, 4, 6, 6!
