4) Umesh Yadav’s last over 6 against Rising Pune Supergiants
In one of the crunch games in the IPL 2016, KKR fast bowler Umesh Yadav did his job with the bat as he struck a match-winning six in the last over against Rising Pune Supergiants in the 20th match of the tournament.
RPS batting first put up 160 on the board and while chasing, KKR were in a spot of bother as they lost two quick wickets. Suryakumar Yadav steadied the ship with a fine knock and KKR looked all certain for a comfortable victory. But a flurry of wickets, in the end, made the game evenly poised and KKR needed 7 runs off the final over.
Thisara Perera was given the last over and he somehow made the game even more interesting when he got rid of Piyush Chawla in the second ball. Now KKR were 8 down and they needed 5 runs of the last 4 balls.
Yadav, however, didn’t leave it until the end and hit a six in the third ball of the over to finish the match on a high. He picked the slower ball well and tonked that for a six over the long-on fence.
Surely a memorable six by the fast-bowler.
