Royal Challengers Bangalore kept their campaign alive as they scraped home by a solitary run, but not before Mahendra Singh Dhoni wound the clock back and sent out a reminder that the finisher is certainly going from strength to strength.

An unbeaten innings of 84 off 48 balls, Dhoni almost pulled off a miraculous chase. Needing 26 runs in the final over, MS clobbered Umesh Yadav for a boundary and three sixes, but then failed to connect the final ball as CSK lost the match by 1 run.
