IPL 2023 [WATCH]: Sandeep Sharma’s little daughter reacts cutely after seeing her father on TV during CSK vs RR match

The nail-biting last-ball thriller between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) broke all the previous viewership records on Jio Cinema as the live viewer count touched the all-time high 2.2 crore mark towards the end of the game. Among all, the newborn daughter of the CSK-RR match’s hero Sandeep Sharma also watched her father bowl the 20th over and reacted in aജ cute manner seeing the latter on Television.

CSK needed 21 runs off the last over bowled by Sandeep, and he started nervously with a couple of wides. Later the right-arm pacer was launched for two sixes by MS Dhoni. However, he regained his composure and did not concede any other boundaries in the remaining balls, securing a memorable victory for the RR. Following Sandeep’s heroism, a video went viral on social media that showed his n🍸ewborn daughter watching him bowl the final over on TV and reacting cutely. The 29-year-old cricketer even himself retwe▨eted the clip on his official Twitter handle.

Here’s the video:

“Congratulations @msdhoni paji for the 200 IPL matches. An honour to share the field and bowl to him. Forever grateful. #dreamcometrue,” Sandeep tweeted.

Notably, Sandeep went unsold at the IPL 2023 auction bu🧸t was later picked up by RR as a replacement for the injured Prasidh Krishna at his base price of ₹50 lahks.

Speaking about his game plan in the post-match presentation after winning the game for the Rajasthan-based team, Sandeep said: “I wanted to deliver yorkers in the last over. I was bowling good yorkers in the nets. The leg-side was big, but I missed my mark and bowled a couple of low full-tosses and both went for sixes. Then I changed my angle and it worked. I bowled over the wicket to Jadeja and I wanted to keep it away from his reach.”
