Andrew Symonds vs Rajasthan Royals in 2008
Andrew Symonds is arguably one of the most dangerous limited-overs batsmen one has ever seen. His contribution to his national side has always been terrific, and even in the IPL also, he did not disappoint his team either. Symonds’ magical innings of 117 was one of the best innings of the edition that came against Rajasthan Royals. The right-hander reached his century off just 43 balls and remained unbeaten till the end. Deccan Chargers finished their innings on 214/5 in 20 overs.
It was looking like a formality for the Royals to bat but Yusuf Pathan proved to be a game changer for them. The elder of the Pathan brothers scored a quick-fire 21-ball fifty along with Graeme Smith’s steady 71. Also, Mohammad Kaif’s 34 was a supersonic innings that took the Royals home by 3 wickets with just one ball to spare.
