Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    OUT! Caught. Shardul Thakur to Carlos Brathwaite. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump backing away pulling, mis-timed in the air under control to long on, by Rayudu. Change of pace again and Brathwaite hasn't got the timing to carry over the fielder. Rayudu runs around and takes a comfortable running catch.

    Sunrisers finish on 178-6 which will be very challenging for Chennai to chase. Captain Williamson led from the front with 47 while Yusuf Pathan added a quickfire 45 at the end. With runs on the board in a final Sunrisers will be looking to apply some pressure with the spinners in the middle-order and get the run-rate out of reach. Chennai have plenty of experience in the dugout though.

  • 19.5

    SIX! Shardul Thakur to Carlos Brathwaite. Short, outside off stump backing away pulling, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. How has Brathwaite hit the ball there? Flat-batted pull over long on. Such a powerful man.

  • 15.5

    OUT! Caught. Dwayne Bravo to Shakib Al Hasan. Full toss, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control to extra cover, by Raina. Straight to the man inside the ring. Shakib had hit it firmly enough but the placement was off, a yard either side of Raina and he would have picked up a boundary. Sunrisers will still be looking at a score upwards of 175.

  • 15.4

    Dwayne Bravo to Yusuf Pathan. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to silly mid off for 1 run, fielded by Bravo.

  • 18.3

    FOUR! Carlos Brathwaite to Ambati Rayudu. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs.

    Chennai are champions of IPL 2018! Shane Watson produced one of the best knocks you will ever see in a final to see his team home by eight wickets. It was not always easy with the new ball swinging and seaming but Watson stuck at it and then picked his bowlers to target, latching onto anything loose. In the end they did it at a canter with nine balls to spare.

    We have seen another thrilling tournament with plenty of ups and downs, along with some outstanding performances from players you wouldn't expect. That's what it's called the greatest T20 tournament on the planet.

  • 13.6

    SIX! Carlos Brathwaite to Shane Watson. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs.
