MI vs CSK Highlights IPL 2022: Finisher MS Dhoni steers Chennai Super Kings to three-wicket win over Mumbai Indians

Dhoni pulls it away over short fine-led and follows it up with a double! Four needed off the final delivery!

Classic Dhoni! He slams one straight down the ground! It's not over yet!

CSK 146/7

Gone!!! Unadkat strikes on the first ball. He traps Pretorius, who departs after scoring a crucial 14-ball 22.

CSK 139/7

11 from the penultimate over... Pretorius takes a single off the last delivery to keep the strike. Chennai need 17 runs off last six balls.

Gutsy and clever from Pretorius! A bit of innovation from the South African against Bumrah. He paddles it towards fine leg. Four more!

CSL 138/6

Watch your legs Bumrah! Pretorius hits it straight down the ground. Four to long-off! 

CSK 132/6

14 off Unadkat's over! Two more overs to go... and Chennai still need 28 runs to win.

FOUR! Dhoni slices it away in the third man region... and third man fielder has gone back after this boundary!

CSK 126/6

Maximum!!! Unadkat bowled it on Pretorius' pads and the Chennai all-rounder had no problems in flicking that away over fine leg.

CSK 121/6

Tidy from Bumrah, who gives away just six off the 17th over. Chennai Super Kings need 42 runs in 18 balls.

CSK 114/6

Bumrah is back into the attack... Mumbai need their most successful bowler of the tournament so bowl some pin-point yorkers at this stage.

What an over from Meredith! Just five off it and he also got the prized wicket of Jadeja (3). Pretorius has joined Dhoni... and Chennai need 48 off the last four overs.

Up in the air... and another one walks back! Jadeja couldn't quite find the gap. He picks out Tilak Varma in long-off region! All eyes on Dhoni now.

CSK 106/6

What an over from Sams... he finishes with 4/30 in his four and Chennai Super Kings need 53 off the last five overs. Dhoni has joined Jadeja in the middle.

CSK 103/5

Sams comes in to bowl his final over the night... and he strikes! Rayudu (40) caught by Pollard and Chennai are five down! A twist in the tale?

CSK 102/5

Hrithik Shokeen comes into the attack and concedes 10 runs. The boundary perhaps was a gift from Meredith, who was too slow to stop the ball. Chennai need 58 runs off the last six overs.

CSK 98/4

Daniel Sams plucks his third! Terrific catch by Ishan Kishan as Shivam Dube falls for 13.

Daniel Sams back into the attack... and Rayudu greets him with a six! He clears deep mid-wicket with absolute ease.

CSK 85/3

Effortless! Shivam Dube whacks one over the mid-off fielder. Six runs! Dube had smashed 95 against Bangalore. He needs to do an encore tonight... Nine off Meredith's over.

CSK 77/3

Uthappa tried to pull that away but found Brevis, who pouched it safely. Shivam Dube joins Rayudu (22) in the middle. End of 10 overs and we are at the halfway mark. 

CSK 68/3

Gone!!! Uthappa caught by Brevis and Unadkat takes his first wicket!

CSK 66/3

Staight down the sightscreen! Hrithik would've felt that... six to end the over. Nine off the over and we are almost at the halfway mark with Uthappa and Rayudu in the middle.

CSK 57/2

Hrithik Shoeen almost struck in his first over! He caught Uthappa off his own bowling but replays showed that the ball had touched the ground.

CSK 50/2

Flawless! Uthappa whacks it straight down the ground for a maximum… and Chennai end the powerplay on 46/2 despite early exits of Gaikwad and Santner.

CSK 46/2

Uthappa lofts it away through the off side. Chennai will happily take that! Nine off Meredith's over.

CSK 38/2

Almost another one!!! Uthappa clears the point fielder, who stretches but doesn't get hold of it. Meredith thought he'd got the batter. Four more.

CSK 33/2

Take that! Rayudu isn't bogged down by early wickets. Short from Bumrah and he pulls it over square leg boundary for a maximum. Second six for Rayudu.

CSK 29/2

Extra bounce from Sams and Santner mistimed it. Jaydev Unadkat made no mistake and pouch it safely. Three overs gone and seems like this game could go down to the wire!

CSK 22/2

Another one! Sams strikes again to remove Santner (11) in the powerplay.

CSK 16/2

Six off Bumrah's over. Mitchell Santner has joined Uthappa in the middle. While Chennai need a steady stand at the moment, a couple of wickets can put Mumbai on top. 

Sams concedes four boundaries after removing Gaikwad... nine off the first over, and Jasprit Bumrah is into the attack.

CSK 9/1

Gaikwad tried to drive it away but found Tilak Varma at point! Gaikwad's poor season continues...  and Mumbai camp is on cloud nine.

WICKET!!! Sams removes Gaikwad on the very first delivery. What a start.

CSK 0/1

Ruturaj had found his lost mojo with a brilliant fifty against Gujarat Titans. He needs to do an encore if Chennai want those two crucial points tonight. He opens with Robin Uthappa, who is playing his 200th IPL game.

Dwayne Bravo has now plucked 33 wickets against Mumbai. He is jointly tied with Umesh Yadav for most wickets against an opposition. Umesh has plucked 33 wickets against Punjab.

"It was very important to play the initial few overs because the wicket was gripping and seaming a little. We thought it was a dry wicket and will hold a bit but it was playing differently," says Tilak Varma on his knock.

"Our plan was to get 145-150 and there was some dew towards the end, so we should bowl really well to defend the total."

Well, Tilak has produced one of the finest innings of the season. Unperturbed by regular fall of wickets, the youngster went on to notch up a valiant fifty. Mumbai got 99 off the last 10 overs to reach a competitive 155.

Well, that would put a smile on the faces of MI fans! Unadkat clears deep mid-wicket boundary against Bravo. He follows it up with a double.

Mumbai Indians reach 155/7 in 20 overs.

Edged and it flies over the slips and keeper... Unadkat gets one four to third man region.

MI 145/7

13 off the over that featured a sublime six off Tilak Varma's willow. One more over to go... and Bravo will bowl the last one.

MI 139/7
