MS Dhoni on Wednesday night once again proved why he is regarded as one of the best finishers the game of cricket has ever seen. (MATCH REPORT)
His 34-ball 70 helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pull off a thrilling five-wicket win over Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) in a high-scoring IPL 2018 game at Bengaluru on Wednesday. (HIGHLIGHTS) (FULL SCORECARD)
Chasing a mammoth 206 against RCB, CSK had their backs to the wall when they lost their fourth wicket for 74 runs in the ninth over.
However, ‘Captain Cool’ came to the rescue once again and in the company of Ambati Rayudu, who slammed an equally impressive 82 off 53 balls, added 101 runs in the next nine overs to turn the match on its head.
CSK still required 31 runs off 13 balls after Rayudu’s departure, but Dhoni and Bravo made the chase look easy, taking their team home with two balls to spare.
