The game, held on Sunday, June 22, witnessed an unexpected hero in Varun Chakaravarthy and a heartfelt moment from captain Ravichandran Ashwin.
Chasing a challenging target of 189, the Dragons found themselves needing 10 runs off the final three deliveries with just two wickets in hand. With Varun Chakaravarthy at the crease on 1*, the tension peaked as he faced M Poiyamozhi.
