VINTAGE DHONI FOLKS! Chennai clinch the thriller off the last ball of the game and it is none other than MS Dhoni, arguably the best finisher in modern cricket who turns the game in his side’s favour with a final over heroics yet again!
It’s what MS Dhoni did immediately after hitting the final-ball four that brought a smile. He had a decently long chat with Ishan Kishen, animatedly describing an arc in the field, and then spotted the young debutant Hrithik Shokeen, patted his back to commence another chat. How quickly he slipped into the markdarshak mentor role after getting the 16 runs needed off the final four. He first smashed Jaydev Unadkat to the straight boundary, calmly hooked the slow bouncer to fine-leg advertising boards, wrested a two to retain the strike for the final ball where he dragged an attempted yorker past the short fine-leg fielder. All the Dhoni touches were visible: dragging the game to its last breath, knowing there were two overs from Unadkat left to target, first calming down Pretorius, who seemed hellbent in running out himself or Dhoni, before signing off the game in his style, with a last-ball boundary and chats with youngsters. And as he broke away from Shokeen, there stood Ravindra Jadeja, head bowed in perhaps gratitude and awe, the only befitting reaction possible to the greatest finisher of all time.

FOUR! DHONI PUTS IT AWAY! That is why he is the best finisher in the world! Dhoni you absolute beauty! Probably not off the middle but he won't care! He has just turned back the clock. Sprinted for two on the previous ball, took the onus onto him and finishes it off! A low full toss on the pads, Dhoni swings, it goes more off the inner half through backward square leg and into the boundary. CHENNAI WIN IT ON THE LAST BALL BY 3 WICKETS!
SIX! He has hit that some! What a shot. Vintage Dhoni. Brute of a stroke and the noise of the crowd has just gone up that level. This is right in the slot. 10 needed now in three.
Pretorius hits it through the long-off against Bumrah and gets a boundary. Good shot by Pretorius. He scoops it this time and again gets a four. CSK 139/6 after 19 overs
What a shot by Pretorius. He flicks it over the deep square leg and gets a six against Unadkat. That's a super-shot. Some sight of relief for the CSK side. Dhoni also hits a boundary. CSK 128/6 after 18 overs
Jadeja returns to the pavilion, and Meredith picks his wicket. Chennai are in deep trouble now. Dhoni is still at the crease. CSK 106/6 after 15.5 overs
Daniel Sams takes the wicket of Rayudu. He looks to hit a big one but goes back to the pavilion after scoring 40 runs. Good catch by Pollard. CSK 102/5 after 14.5 overs
Rayudu starts the over with a six against Daniel Sams. That's a release shot by Rayudu. But, wait!! Sams gets the wicket of Shivam Dube. Mumbai are going well now. CSK 88/4 after 12.5 overs
Shivam Dube shows his finesse with the willow. He smashes it over the mid-off for a huge six against Meredith. That's great batting by Dube. CSK 77/3 after 11 overs
The Delhi youngster Hrithik Shokeen thought he had his first IPL wicket in his first over but it wasn’t to be. He had taken a low return catch, jumped, roared, glared at the batsman Robin Uthappa, who just stood there chewing his gum. Inevitably, the umpires refereed it upstairs to check the legality of the catch. Uthappa kept chewing, Shokeen seemed still confident as his team-mates huddled around him. “Oh he has dragged it along the ground,” Matthew Hayden would say on air. “You see what you wish to see,” Harsha Bhogle would pipe up. As the not out verdict flashed on the screen, and the Mumbai fielders’s shoulders slumped, Uthappa would flash a lovely smile. Next ball, he crash-landed the youngster’s loopy delivery over the sight screen. Shokeen would reach out for his collar, and wipe his mouth.

Uthappa looks to jab the ball but ends up hitting it in the hands of Brevis. Unadkat with a breakthrough this time. Uthappa departs after scoring 30 runs. CSK 66/3 after 9 overs
Uthappa with a huge six this time. He hits it down the ground for a six against Shokeen. What a great shot by Uthappa. Chennai are going strong now. CSK 57/2 after 8 overs
Unadkat to bowl the last over of the powerplay. Uthappa goes straight this time and hits a six. What a way to end the over. This is outstanding batting by CSK. CSK 46/2 after 6 overs
Meredith to bowl the fifth over for Mumbai Indians. Uthappa hits a boundary against Meredith. He plays this one over the covers and fetches a four. CSK 38/2 after 5 overs
Rayudu pulls it this time for a six against Bumrah. What timing by Rayudu. He hits it over backward square leg and gets a maximum. Good batting!! CSK 29/2 after 4 overs
The extra bounce does the trick and Santner departs. That got big on him and Santner went for the big hit and couldn't control it. Unadkat takes the catch and Daniel Sams celebrates. Santner is gone for 11 off 9 balls. CSK 16/2 after 2.3 overs
It’s one of the most beautiful slower balls in business, Dwayne Bravo’s drop-dead killer. It suspends in the air, almost, just above the eye-level of the batsman. Is it at that point the batsman, Daniel Sams in this case, know that he is about to be done? He is just about committed to a shot when that illusionary suspension happens; then it begins to drop dead. Unlike most other pace deliveries, where a batsman almost doesn’t see what’s happening be it because of the sheer pace or a nasty bouncer or a vicious cutter, here he can see his own demise and the weapon all that much clearer. So, Sams watched in what must be rapidly escalating panic, that he is not going to survive.
“For the dipper, just before release, I twist the wrist and pull down on the side of the ball. The thumb and fingers don’t work much but sort of flick it out.” he had told this newspaper. “I go for his thigh pad. What I am really looking to bowl is a full toss! The batsman feels it’s going to be a beamer before it dips so fast on him.”
Some batsmen try to complete the bat swing and hope against hope that there is some wood on leather. Some try to change their intended shot and sort of flail their bat around in what they think would be the line. Sams went for the hurried jab-down but his jammed the ground just outside the line of the ball which had sneaked through to rap his pad in line of the off stump. Trapped lbw, trapped by Bravo’s gorgeous honey trap.
FOUR! So two boundaries from the first over and this will ease some nerves in Chennai camp. Santner is on the charge and pulls it in front of square for a boundary. End of an eventful first over. CSK: 9/1 after 1 over
CAUGHT! What a start for Mumbai and the crowd erupts! Gaikwad cuts it but the ball goes straight into the hands of Tilak Varma at point. He takes the catch and Mumbai have got the early wicket they needed. Can they put pressure on Chennai now, Mumbai is a champion team and we can expect them to fight till the end.
