Twitter reactions on MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav: Twitter was excited to see the Super Kings duo sealing the chase for the team.
During the fifth match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings at Delhi, Chennai Super Kings defeated Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets to register their second victory of IPL 2019.

Chasing a 148-run target, Super Kings’ chase was inspired from the quintessential “MS Dhoni School of Chasing Totals”. Dhoni, who came in to bat in the 11th over, took the game till the end. Despite CSK didn’t require him to follow a ultra safe approach, Dhoni was his usual contemporary self as he scored a single run off Axar Patel in the 17th over.
Jadhav and Dhoni ended up sharing a 48-run partnership for the fourth wicket. After Jadhav got caught behind the wickets off Kagiso Rabada in the last over, Dhoni and CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo (4*) won the match in the last over. While Jadhav scored 27 (34) with the help of two fours, Dhoni remained unbeaten on 32* (35) with the help of two fours and a six.
ALSO WATCH: Shane Watson involved in heated exchange with Ishant Sharma and Kagiso Rabada
Opening batsman Shane Watson was the highest run-scorer as he scored 44 (26) with the help of four fours and three sixes. With bowling figures of 4-0-35-2, Amit Mishra was the pick of the bowlers for the Capitals.
After Iyer won the toss and chose to bat, Delhi Capitals ended up scoring a mediocre 147-6 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan top-scored for his team with his 33rd IPL half-century. The southpaw scored 51 (47) with the help of seven fours. With bowling figures of 4-0-33-3, veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo was the highest wicket-taker for Super Kings.

Sometimes I feel @msdhoni prolongs things just to torment opponents!😊

They might have taken it to the end but #CSK were always in control. #DC didn’t get the wickets they needed. So 2 in 2 for CSK.

I find MSD and Kedar Jadhav a fascinating ‘jodi’. Both unorthodox, but have the chemistry to work superbly in tandem. Should be CSK’s match unless, for some reason, both fall quickly from here

Dhoni turns a simple chase into a last-over humdinger. Then shows heroics to clinch it & hailed as a master chaser. #DDvCSK
