But in the final over, Jadeja went on a rampage, hitting the first two balls for sixes, then a beamer for six, and then the free hit for six. He finished the over with a six and a four to give CSK a total of 191/4. Patel still leads the wicket charts this season, but that over will be one he wants to forget.
