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

What a game we've had tonight! Mukesh Choudhary wreaked havoc with the new ball before Tilak Varma notched up a fighting fifty. In the end, it was vintage Dhoni who turned back the clock to script a three wicket victory for Chennai.

That's all the action we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us for the 'El Clasico' of IPL 2022. We will be back tomorrow for the game between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. Until then, it's goodbye.

"I never thought I'd play cricket. Was at boarding school in Pune, we had an hour's sports period and I used to play all kinds of sports there. Tried playing cricket and seemed to be good at it," says Mukesh Choudhary on taking home the Player-of-the-Match trophy.

"Have to bowl well in the powerplay where I'm supposed to bowl three overs. There is no pressure actually, to play with such big players around you automatically takes all the pressure away. I just want to have a good time and enjoy myself."

"We were very tense the way game was going. But the great finisher of the game was still there, so we knew we had a chance. He's still here and doing it for us," says CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja.

The crowd was on its feet after seeing a vintage MS Dhoni smack a last-ball boundary off Jaydev Unadkat! Mukesh Choudhary gets the Man of the Match award for his three-fer. He rocked Mumbai with early blows in the powerplay!

Mumbai Indians are the first team to record seven straight defeats at the start! Chasing 156 for the win, Chennai lost Gaikwad and Santner early before Uthappa (30) and Rayudu (40) chipped in with vital cameos.

Dube and Jadeja failed to shine but Pretorius hit a 14-ball 22 to accelerate the innings towards the end. With 17 needed off the last over, it was Dhoni who eventually finished it off in style.

We saw two teams contesting under immense pressure but it was Chennai who emerged victorious! Two crucial points for Chennai while Mumbai suffer their seventh straight defeat.

"He (Dhoni) is the master at finishing. Did it again tonight. Wanted to go for that scoop shot in the first over. He asked me to wait. Then I asked him again and he said go for it. Working on my bowling. Glad to contribute to a win for my team," says Dwaine Pretorius.

“In the end it was a great fight from us, we were in the game after not batting well, the bowlers kept us in, but in the end you know how towering MSD can be and he took them home,” says Rohit Sharma.

A bit of late drama and it's Dhoni who holds his nerves to finish it off with a boundary! Dhoni remains unbeaten on 28 off 13 balls.

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.

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

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