On Thursday, MS Dhoni turned back the clock to script a three-wicket win for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians in the IPL following a heart-stopping finish that saw him hit a four off the last ball of the game.

After a thrilling victory, skipper Ravindra Jadeja was seen bowing down to MS Dhoni. Ambati Rayudu also thanked Dhoni after the game.

Mumbai lost half their side for 85. Shokeen, who had three boundaries, top-edged a Dwayne Bravo (2/36) short-ball only to be caught at Robin Uthappa at mid-on. Wickets kept tumbling for Mumbai with Kieron Pollard (14) and Daniel Sams (5) also falling cheaply.

But thanks to a quick-fire 35-run eight-wicket stand off 16 balls between Tilak and Unadkat, Mumbai gave their bowlers something to defend.

Jadeja was all praise for Dhoni in his post-match comments. “Actually we were very tense, the way the game was going, but at some stage we knew that the great finisher of the game was there and if he played to the last ball, he can definitely finish the match.

“He (Dhoni) showed the world that he’s still here and he can finish the game.”

On Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo, he said, “We have plenty of experience in our team so they know when to perform and what to do. So if we’re not winning the game, still we look to be calm and relax.

“I don’t take fielding for granted and still work on it. We need to do some work on our fielding and take catches because we can’t keep dropping catches in every game,” Jadeja said about his side’s below-par fielding show in the match.
