Chennai Super Kings beat Rajasthan Royals by 8 runs.MS Dhoni’s well-calculated half-century in challenging conditions turned out to be game-changer as Chennai Super Kings won their third match of the season with an eight-run defeat of Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. Dhoni’s 75 off 46 balls helped Rajasthan put 175/5 in the first innings. Inreply the Royals got off to a poor start but Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer took the chase deep with their fiery 44-run stand. However, a brilliant last over by Dwayne Bravo restricted RR to 167/8.
In my profession, in live television, I have learnt that there is always more time than you think there is. MS Dhoni shows that everyday on a cricket field. The power of a calm mind!

Good game, and when it is a pressure situation, CSK invariably find a way to win. Terrific last over from DJ Bravo. #CSKvRR

This is why everyone backs @msdhoni so much, he knows how to save his team.First, settle in slowly and then destroy the opposition in the final overs. Superb batting! #CSKvRR @ChennaiIPL

What was looking like being an average total is now an absolutely challenging one – One Man made the Difference – MS Dhoni. Remember, he came in when @ChennaiIPL were in a trouble at 27/3 . This is experience for you #CSKvRR

Meanwhile, Imran Tahir, who had a good outing with the ball said, “I am feeling very good, very proud. It was there (dew); I tried to use my experience but the ball was really wet. I am very happy. It’s always nerves. First match I dropped a catch, so didn’t want to repeat the mistake. Every catch is a difficult one. It’s the passion and respect I have for the game. I don’t take anything for granted. Whenever I am playing, I try to contribute for my team.”
