2. Sandeep Sharma, RR vs SRH, Jaipur, IPL 2023:
In order to defeat the Rajasthan Royals (RR), SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) had to score 41 runs in the last two overs. But Glenn Phillips made sure that his team had a chance by scoring 22 runs off the first four deliveries of the 19th over, giving them an outside chance. Abdul Samad reduced the equation from 17 needed in the final over to 5 needed on the final ball.
The major turnaround occurred when Samad smashed on the sixth ball of the over, and Rajasthan began to celebrate. But as the dreadful alarm sounded, Sandeep Sharma had gone too far. Samad struck a six off of Sandeep’s attempted yorker on the free-hit to long-on to give SRH a historic victory.
