April 15, 2018  23:40


CSK 181-5 (19 ovs) vs Punjab 197-7 | Scorecard


Dhoni's movements may have been hampered by the injury to his back but there is no hampering his big hitting.

Mohit gifts him a full toss which he chips over midwicket but the fielder in the deep is slow to react and puts down a tough chance diving forward, while also giving away a four.

Singles from the next two balls before Dhoni clobbers the fourth ball over midwicket for a six and then takes one to bring up his fifty, from 34 balls.

Jadeja revives CSK's hopes further with a six off the last ball of the over from Mohit, which goes for 19 runs.

But the experienced Tye checks CSK's progress with the wicket of Jadeja in the next over, caught by Ashwin on the leg side for 19.

Dhoni though is not ready to give up as he hammers a length ball from Tye over midwicket for a six.

The next ball drops short as Dhoni ramps it over the short thirdman fielder for a four and then drives the next ball to long-off for two runs.

Dhoni swings the last ball over square leg for another six as CSK get 19 from the 19th over.

An unbelievable comeback from CSK, hitting 50 runs from the last three overs, all down to their captain MSD.

They need 17 runs from the last over for victory.
