That will be all from today's game. MS Dhoni finishes the game in style. He smashes a massive SIX and CSK qualify for the play-offs. It was 2020 when they couldn't make it but this year, they are stronger than ever. SRH on the other hand, is the first team to be out of the contention.

WICKET! Jason Holder has certainly put the pressure back on CSK. First he traps Raina with a dipping Yorker and then removes Faf du Plessis who was rooting for a fifty. A couple of qucik wickets that land a new batting pair of Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni at the crease. CSK: 108/4 after 15.5 overs | Target: 135
