CHENNAI: England’s Jos Buttler struck a half-century as Rajasthan claimed a tense three-run win over Chennai in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday.
Buttler’s 52 from 36 balls set up Rajasthan’s 175-8, supported by Shimron Hetmyer’s unbeaten 30.
Needing 21 from the final over, Sandeep Sharma bowled two wides before two MS Dhoni sixes set up a last-ball finish.
With five required for a Chennai victory, Dhoni only managed a single and they finished 172-6.
Former India skipper Dhoni, 41, rolled back the years with his innings of 32 from 17 balls, leading a recovery from 113-6 with Ravindra Jadeja, who finished unbeaten on 25 from 15 balls.
