Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final: Will remember last-ball six for a long time, says Shahrukh Khan

Tamil Nadu all-rounder Shahrukh Khan on Monday said it was a dream-come-true moment for him to hit a six off the final delivery and win his team the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title. Shahrukh held his nerves when TN needed 5 off the final delivery in a thrilling final against arch-rivals Karnataka and hit a huge six to help win the final at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

Shahrukh Khan had walked into bat when Tamil Nadu were in a spot of bother in their chasse of 152. Opener Narayan Jagadeesan and captain Vijay Shankar fell in successive deliveries to KC Cariappa in the 16th over after the duo struggled to keep the asking rate in check in the middle overs. The Punjab Kings big-hitter walked in when TN needed 57 runs from 22 balls.

Shahrukh Khan, who has made a name for himself as a proven finisher in domestic cricket, showcased his skills once again, hitting 33 not out in just 15 balls, which included 3 sixes and a boundary. TN needed 22 runs in the last 7 balls and Shahrukh finished the penultimate over with a six. He was on strike when Karnataka were defending 5 runs off the last ball.
