CSK skipper MS Dhoni was on total fire mode yesterday during IPL 2019 encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore. His heroics with the bat created a buzz at Chinnaswamy stadium where chants of Dhoni, Dhoni were doing the round. Although CSK lost by just one run in the end, the game was something not to be missed in IPL 2019.
While chasing 162, Dhoni took the workload of the team when the top order collapsed early. Coming in at 28/4, Dhoni (84*) took the match to a moment when CSK needed just 2 runs from the final ball. The match reached this moment after MS smashed three nerve-wrecking sixes in the last over of Umesh Yadav, which demanded 27 runs.
The match became a talking point on social media too, where cricketers and cricket fans were full of applauds to witness such an exciting clash. Here are some of the tweets of cricketers, fans who were amazed to watch such a T20 encounter, calling IPL as the best league to watch. Have a look.
Wow! What a fantastic game of cricket #RCBvCSK

No surprises @parthiv9 comes up clutch at the end. Consistently practices throwing down the stumps in his preparation. How good! 👏👏

#Dhoni. You freak! The only guy who has the ability to put bowler under pressure when defending 26 off the last over! Take a bow!
And #Kohli. Fail to understand how can a captain can simply stand in the deep, offering zero advice to his bowler getting thrashed around the park— Rohan Mehra (@ronty15) April 21, 2019

MS Dhoni’s post match interviews show how much knowledge he possesses about cricket. India will miss him alot after WC’19

I am not a fan of winning Dhoni,
I am fan of MS Dhoni!!#RCBvCSK #satyaperapu— SatyaNarayana Perapu (@Satya_perapu) April 21, 2019
It is not players like Warner, Dhoni, Kohli and Rohit that make the #IPL exciting. It is players like Umesh, Piyush, Siraj, Unadkat that make this tournament special. Special players. Please take care of them @IPL

Are you kidding me! 26 needed off the final over. MS Dhoni almost did it again – single-handedly! Take a bow! RCB win by 1 run. #RCBvsCSK #IPL2019@msdhoni #MSDhoni
