Once Shane Watson and Suresh Raina set up the platform for the other batsmen, it was up to Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav to finish off the game, and they didn’t disappoint the Chennai fans. We have seen many times these two finishing games in the Indian colours and they did the same for CSK last night.

The top order had brought down the required rate below six and it was a situation which was favourable for both Dhoni and Jadhav. Both batsmen initially took their time and at one point it seemed as if the match might slip from CSK’s hands, but Dhoni had the game covered. He targeted the right bowlers at the right time and chased down the total in the last over.

The 48 run partnership between Jadhav and Dhoni were Dhoni scored 32 off 35 balls was key for CSK’s second win of this IPL season.
