It didn't finish until 1.30am but Chennai Super Kings won a sensational Indian Premier League final against the defending champion Gujarat Titans off the final ball. Chennai were almost denied by medium-pacer Mohit Sharma in the final over, with the Super Kings needing 14 runs off the 15th and final over (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method). After only four from the first four balls, the equation shifted in Gujarat's favour with Chennai needing 10 runs off the last two balls. But Sharma got his length wrong and Ravindra Jadeja hit a six, then got his line wrong and Jadeja hit a four to pull off a stunning win.
