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.
