New Delhi. In the 16th season of the IPL, where youngsters like Tilak Verma and Rinku Singh are making a mark, on the other hand, older players like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Amit Mishra and Piyush Chawla are also consistently performing brilliantly. There are many players who were looking anonymous till last season, they are making the team win this season with their charismatic performance. Nameless cricketers include Ajinkya Rahane along with pacers Ishant Sharma and Sandeep Sharma. Where Rahane is doing wonders in batting, Ishant and Sandeep are rocking in bowling. Both these bowlers have bowled two overs in IPL 2023 that Dhoni and Hardik Pandya will remember for life.
Ishant Sharma and Sandeep Sharma converted the lost game into victory on two occasions in this IPL with their superb bowling. In the 17th league match of IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals were facing Chennai Super Kings. This match was being played at Chennai’s stronghold i.e. its home ground Chepauk. In this match, CSK needed 21 runs in the last over to win. Then Dhoni was on one side of the crease and Ravindra Jadeja was on the other side. When Dhoni and Jadeja were at the crease, it was not a big deal for them to achieve this goal.
