11 bowlers who bowled the final ball in the 11 seasons of IPL

#1 L Balaji - Chennai Super Kings (Result - Lost), IPL Final, 2008

L Balaji failed to defend 8 runs in his last over

Vital contributions from Parthiv Patel, Suresh Raina, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni helped the Chennai Super Kings reach 163/5 in their quota of 20 overs. Yusuf Pathan was the pick of the bowlers for Rajasthan Royals returning with figures of 3/22.

Pathan fired with the bat as well; as he along with Shane Watson added 65 for the 4th wicket to increase RR’s chances to lift the trophy. A batting collapse left Shane Warne’s side needing 8 runs off the final over to be crowned the inaugural IPL champions.

Tanvir and Warne took 7 runs from the first 5 deliveries of L Balaji as the equation came down to 1 run needed from 1 ball. Sohail Tanvir pulled a short length delivery through mid-on to steal a single as RR scripted one of the most memorable victories to win the Indian Premier League.
