After beating the Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets and 2 balls to go, Chennai Super Kings have now entered into the 9<sup>th<\/sup> IPL Final. They have broken their own previous record to achieve this feat.<\/p>\n<p>After a not-so-good bowling performance, in the first innings where Delhi Capitals posted a competitive total of 172, with help of great innings by Prithvi Shaw and their captain Rishabh Pant, CSK came into bat hoping for a good start. But things didn\u2019t quite go their way, they lost Faf du Plessis in the very 4<sup>th<\/sup> ball of the innings, and with Uthappa in as the new batter, it felt as it wasn\u2019t going to be that easy of a task for CSK. However the CSK batters were out there to prove a point, and they batted very sensibly. Picking up the right shots and right bowlers, they quickly counterattacked the pace bowling of Delhi Capitals.<\/p>\n<p>Both Uthappa and Gaikwad scored their half-centuries at a quick rate. Together they added 110 runs for the second wicket. This bolstered the inning and provided a cushion for the coming batters. After Uthappa\u2019s wicket, Gaikwad continued to play his free-flowing shots and scored 70 of 50 balls. With this, he also completed 600 runs for CSK and brought his team ever so close to chasing the target.<\/p>\n<p>The finishing strokes were applied by M.S. Dhoni the finisher as he scored a quickfire 18 in just 6 balls to win the game for CSK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both Uthappa and Gaikwad scored their half-centuries at a quick rate.
