Dhoni (28 not out off 13) batted like the finisher of his heydays to help CSK get the required 17 runs off the final over to win their second game of the season and extend Mumbai Indians’ winless streak this season to seven games.

The 40-year-old smashed a six and four off the third and fourth ball off Jaydev Unadkat before maintaining his calm to put one past short-fine leg for the match-winning boundary, leaving the bowler and the rest of his Mumbai teammates shattered.

CSK were up against it with 48 runs off the last 24 balls and four wickets in hand but Dhoni with the help of Dwaine Pretorius (22 off 14 balls) ensured his team got over the line in an absolute humdinger.

With this win, CSK continue to fight for yet another day and keep their playoffs hopes alive while MI is all but out of the race now as the Rohit Sharma-led side will have to win all the games and pray the other nine teams perform badly in their remaining league fixtures.

While MI’s miseries continued to pile up despite putting up a good all-round show in the game as their bowlers and middle-order batters fought hard to make a contest out of nowhere. MI’s much-vaunted top-order collapsed early in their innings however the heroics of young Tilak Varma and others helped them post a respectable 155 for 6.

For CSK, young left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary was the star as he picked up three wickets in the powerplay to rattle MI’s batting order. The Rajasthan pacer was adjudged the player of the match for turning things around so early for his team. But MS Dhoni’s pyrotechnics and his ability to keep his mind cool even during the tensest of situations stole the show.

The 40-year-old was once again hailed as the best finishers of all time as Twitterati doffed their hats for his ability to finish the game. Here’s who said what.
