It was the first season for the Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL. They were already out of the contention for the playoffs, but captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/it-was-incredible-unbelievable-kevin-pietersen-amazed-by-the-welcome-for-ms-dhoni-at-wankhede/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> pulled off his magic to give something to his fans in their last league fixture. It all happened in Match 53 between Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) and Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings) in IPL 2016.

The Kings posted a score of 172 on the board, with the 30 from Hashim Amla and quickfire half-centuries from Murali Vijay and Gurkeerat Singh Mann. The key bowler for Pune was Ravichandran Ashwin, who finished with figures of 4/34 off four overs. In response, RPS had an average start with the openers Ajinkya Rahane (19) and Usman Khawaja (30) playing cautiously.

The middle-order didn&#8217;t support the team well, with George Bailey and Saurabh Tiwary failing to provide hefty contributions. However, it was a quick 58-run stand between Thisara Perera (23) and Dhoni, which steered the team to get close to the opposition&#8217;s score. With 23 needed off the last over, youngster Axar Patel was up against the finisher Dhoni. Patel started with a dot and a wide, but Dhoni hit a six off the second ball. Then the third ball returned a dot ball, which mounted the pressure on Dhoni. In the subsequent balls, the former India captain pulled off heroics to hit a four, and two sixes respectively, and finished with 64* off 32 balls.

Over the years, the T20 cricket has been able to reach out to more audiences and have greater appeal as compared to the other formats. This is due to the guarantee of close finishes and nail-biting moments offered by the shortest format of the game. Although the results on the last ball of the over have been regular, the ardent fans of the game keep longing for more such games.
In this context, The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) has provided entertainment to the cricket fans and keeps them glued to their TV sets until the very last ball of the match.

With the challenge of chasing 161, the Chargers were up to their task with the openers Adam Gilchrist (43) and Herschelle Gibbs (28) setting up a platform for the team. Then, T. Suman and Andrew Symonds were involved in a quickfire partnership, which aided the team to be in reach of the opposition&#8217;s score.
In the last over, the team required 21 off six balls. On the first ball of the over, Mashrafe Mortaza delivered a no-ball, which was put away for a four by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-players-who-can-replace-rohit-sharma-as-mi-captain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a>.

It was the first season for the Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL. They were already out of the contention for the playoffs, but captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/it-was-incredible-unbelievable-kevin-pietersen-amazed-by-the-welcome-for-ms-dhoni-at-wankhede/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> pulled off his magic to give something to his fans in their last league fixture. It all happened in Match 53 between Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) and Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings) in IPL 2016.
The Kings posted a score of 172 on the board, with the 30 from Hashim Amla and quickfire half-centuries from Murali Vijay and Gurkeerat Singh Mann. The key bowler for Pune was Ravichandran Ashwin, who finished with figures of 4/34 off four overs. In response, RPS had an average start with the openers Ajinkya Rahane (19) and Usman Khawaja (30) playing cautiously.
The middle-order didn&#8217;t support the team well, with George Bailey and Saurabh Tiwary failing to provide hefty contributions. However, it was a quick 58-run stand between Thisara Perera (23) and Dhoni, which steered the team to get close to the opposition&#8217;s score. With 23 needed off the last over, youngster Axar Patel was up against the finisher Dhoni. Patel started with a dot and a wide, but Dhoni hit a six off the second ball. Then the third ball returned a dot ball, which mounted the pressure on Dhoni. In the subsequent balls, the former India captain pulled off heroics to hit a four, and two sixes respectively, and finished with 64* off 32 balls.
