Rajasthan Royals secured a thrilling 6-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, thanks to a brilliant final over by Sandeep Sharma. With 20 runs needed off the last over and MS Dhoni at the crease, RR captain Riyan Parag made a bold decision to hand the ball to Sandeep Sharma, who repaid the faith by dismissing Dhoni and restricting CSK to singles and doubles. Sandeep’s accuracy and nerve in the final over ensured RR opened their account in the tournament with a hard-fought win.

This is not the first time Sandeep has silenced Dhoni in a chase, as he had a similar masterclass against CSK two years ago while playing for RR. Despite a shaky start with two wides, Sandeep held his nerves to secure a three-run win for the Royals. Sandeep’s ability to deliver under pressure in crucial moments has proven to be a valuable asset for his team, as he once again showcased his skills in a high-pressure situation to keep a legend like Dhoni quiet and secure a crucial victory for his team.
