Top 3 Final-over Thrillers in IPL

IPL and final-over thrillers are not new. Those nail-biting thrillers are still fresh in our memory. We all have experienced our hearts racing during those high-octane action moments. The IPL championship has witnessed several intense and intriguing matches that changed the fortunes in favour or against our favourite teams. There have been many memorable games in the championship history where unimaginable things happened in the last six balls. Here are Top 3 final over thrillers in IPL.

LSG vs DC, IPL 2025
The recent one added to this list is yesterday’s game between Lucknow and LSG. Despite losing Aiden Markram early, Mitch Marsh (72) and Nicholas Pooran (75) destroyed the Delhi bowling unit. With over 200+ strike rate, they paved the way for a massive score of 209. Chasing a gigantic total, Delhi fell flat in the starting overs and lost Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Poral, and Sameer Rizvi. Although wickets started falling regularly, the adrenaline pump experience came later. No one would have thought that Delhi Capitals would chase a 210 target after losing three wickets within the first two overs. However, DC snatched a fabulous victory from a solid LSG in the last over and gave a perfect start to its IPL campaign. The man who made this possible is the 26-year-old Ashutosh Sharma. His sensational match-winning knock as an impact player undoubtedly impacted the game turn in favour of DC.

MI vs CSK, IPL 2018
This final between Mumbai and Chennai is undoubtedly the best final over thriller in IPL history. Defending just 9 runs, Lasith Malinga bowled the final over. When everyone was on the edge of their seats, Shane Watson got run out, and Malinga successfully tricked Shardul on the last ball. With this win, Mumbai grabbed its fourth title.

KXIP vs MI, IPL 2020
Action, thrill, and suspense – this match had it all. For the first time in IPL history, a game had two super-overs. After too many nail-biting moments and mind-boggling two super-overs, Punjab had the last laughs. Chris Gayle and Mohammed Shami guided Punjab to a fabulous win where cricket was at its absolute best.
