Four-time winner Chennai Super Kings will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL-2023 on Monday. This match is counted among the high-profile matches of IPL because where Chennai has Mahendra Singh Dhoni, then Bangalore has Virat Kohli. Both are big names in world cricket. But apart from these two, everyone's eyes will be on two more players. The two players are Ravindra Jadeja of Chennai and Harshal Patel of Bangalore.
The reason for this is the match played between Chennai and Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium in 2021. In this match, the amazing work done by Jadeja in the last over of Chennai's innings is still in the minds of the people and Harshal Patel became his victim. Due to Kovid in the year 2021, the matches were played in Mumbai and Pune only.
37 runs in one over
Jadeja showered runs on Harshal in this match. Batting first in this match, Chennai scored 154 runs losing four wickets in 19 overs. Harshal came to bowl the last over from Bangalore. Jadeja was in front and in this over Jadeja hit 37 runs on Harshal. Jadeja hit sixes in the first four balls, out of which the third ball was a no-ball.

After this, Jadeja again took two runs and then hit a six on the next ball. He hit a four on the last ball and thus Jadeja took 37 runs in one over. This is the most expensive over in IPL history so far. On the basis of this over, Chennai scored 191 runs losing four wickets and stopped Bangalore from 122 runs losing nine wickets in 20 overs.
