These aren’t just games.
These are pure cinematic bangers.
Last-ball thrillers, absurd chases, players going beast mode — this is the IPL at its absolute peak.
Let’s relive the madness 👇
1. KKR vs GT, 2023 – RINKU SINGH GOES GOD MODE
📍 5 balls. 28 needed.
Most of us switched the channel. Match over, right?
WRONG.
Rinku Singh went:
6️⃣ 6️⃣ 6️⃣ 6️⃣ 6️⃣
– on Yash Dayal.
Unreal. Stupid. Disrespectful. Legendary.
This wasn’t a knock — this was IPL mythology in real time.
2. CSK vs MI, 2018 Final – Watson’s Broken Body Knock
Shane Watson. 106 off 57.
Torn hamstrings. Could barely run.
But he stood there and butchered every bowler.
Fours. Sixes. Pure destruction.
CSK lifted the trophy, and Watson was carried like a war hero.
Real gladiator stuff.
3. PBKS vs RR, 2020 – Mayank & Rahul vs Tewatia Twist
PBKS scored 223. Game should’ve been over.
But enter Tewatia:
- First 20 balls = meme level
- Last 10 balls = Avengers Endgame
Hits 5 sixes off Sheldon Cottrell.
RR wins with 3 balls left.
Every fantasy player cried that night.
Every meme page thrived.
4. MI vs CSK, 2019 Final – Malinga’s Redemption
Final ball. 2 runs needed.
Lasith Malinga.
Famous for yorkers. But this time? Slower ball.
Plumb LBW. CSK stunned. MI wins by 1 run.
You could literally hear a pin drop in the CSK dugout.
Peak drama.
Peak IPL.
5. RCB vs LSG, 2023 – Stoinis, Pooran, and the Finish of the Season
RCB posts 212. Crowd vibing.
LSG starts slow.
But then — Nicholas Pooran goes absolutely ballistic.
62 off 19. A different dimension.
Last-ball drama. Harshal Patel tries to Mankad. Misses.
Then throws. Misses.
Then runout attempt — direct hit.
LSG wins. Twitter explodes. Chaos.
👀 Honorable Mentions (Because IPL is nuts):
- Super Over madness: MI vs KXIP (2020) – 2 super overs.
- Brendon McCullum 158* in 2008 opener – Started the legacy.
- Dhoni’s 28 off 7 vs RCB – Pure ice.
💬 Final Word
IPL matches hit different.
They’re not just cricket — they’re dopamine + heartbreak + goosebumps in one.
You never forget where you were when Rinku hit those sixes.
Or when Tewatia flipped a dead game.
Or when Malinga won a final with a slower one.
This league owns us.
