The Chennai Super Kings all-rounder (CSK), Ravindra Jadeja rewrote the history book at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on Sunday. He equaled the record for the most runs being scored in a single over in the history of IPL, as he smashed 37 off Harshal Patel’s final over of the innings. The previous record was held by Chris Gayle, and Jadeja smacked Patel for 5 sixes and a four to create history.
Earlier in the game, MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat first. RCB made a couple of changes in the squad as Shahbaz Ahmed and Kane Richardson made way for Dan Christian and Navdeep Saini. On the other hand, CKS also made a couple of changes, Imran Tahir and Dj Bravo came in for Moeen Ali and Lungi Ngidi.

CSK started off well as they scored 51 runs in the powerplay without losing the wicket. Faf du Plessis (50 off 41 balls) managed to score back-to-back-half centuries but eventually perished in the 14th over, in which Suresh Raina was also dismissed. In the next over of Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja got the lifeline as Dan Chris spilled a catch at mid-wicket.
In the next couple of overs, Ambati Rayudu also lost his wicket and CSK was standing 154/4 at the end of the 19th over. Harshal Patel came out to the ball in the final over and happened in the next seven balls, he never expected in his wildest dreams. On the first three balls, he conceded sixes on every ball and with the third one being the waist-height no-ball as well and he conceded six on the free hit as well.

He conceded a six and a four in the last three balls of the over which ended with a boundary. Harshal had earlier picked three wickets in the game as well.
