Ravindra Jadeja s batting rampage secured a record-equaling 37 runs off the last over before taking 3-13 with the ball as Chennai Super Kings beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 69 runs in the Indian Premier League on Monday.
Delhi Capitals later joined Chennai and Bangalore at the top of the leaderboard on eight points after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first Super Over of the season.
At Mumbai, Bangalore finally lost a game after winning four in a row as Jadeja equaled Chris Gayle s IPL record, set against Kochi Tuskers Prasanth Parameswaran during the 2011 edition of the IPL. But it was easily the most expensive 20th over, beating the previous record of 30.
