IPL: Ben Stokes hit for six off last ball as Super Kings beat Royals

All-rounder Ben Stokes batting for IPL side Rajasthan Royals in a net session

England's Ben Stokes was hit for six off the last ball as Chennai Super Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by four wickets in the Indian Premier League.
Chasing 152, the Super Kings needed 18 off the final over in Jaipur.
But Ravindra Jadeja hit the first ball for six and Mitchell Santner drove the final delivery back over Stokes' head.
Super Kings captain MS Dhoni walked on to the field earlier in the over to argue with the umpires after a Stokes 'no-ball' was overturned.
Dhoni was fined 50% of his match fee for breaking the IPL code of conduct.
Chennai were struggling at 24-4 in reply to Rajasthan's 151-7.
Ambati Rayudu made 57 off 47 balls and India wicketkeeper Dhoni struck 58 off 43 before he was bowled by Stokes off the third ball of the last over.
The next delivery was a full toss to Santner that looked above waist height.
Although umpire Ulhas Gandhe signalled a no-ball, the decision was overruled by square-leg umpire Bruce Oxenford, and an incensed Dhoni returned to the pitch to remonstrate.
