MS Dhoni once again proved why he is known as the greatest finisher in the world. Dhoni scored 16 runs off the last four balls to take CSK to the victory.
In the last over, Chennai Super Kings required 17 runs with Dwaine Pretorius and MS Dhoni on the crease. On the first ball off the last over Unadkat bowled an off-cutter yorker to Pretorius, hitting him on the pad. It seemed like the ball was pitching outside leg and the umpire gave it not out and scamper CSK a leg bye run. MI’s captain Rohit Sharma immediately took the DRS and later the batter has declared out with the bowl pitching inline. Dwayne Bravo was the next man in and took a single to bring MS Dhoni on strike. With MS Dhoni on strike, the fans were cheering with hope. The third ball of the over was in the slot and was smashed straight over the ropes by Dhoni for six. In the next ball, MSD pulls the slower bouncer over fine leg for a four. With 6 required off 2 delivers, he took a double on the second last ball. With four required off the last ball for CSK to win, MS Dhoni smashed a four towards the backward square leg. CSK won the match by three wickets with Dhoni once again “finishing off in style”.
The fans were overwhelmed with Dhoni’s innings, here are some of their reactions:
