ON Wednesday night, we all got to witness a thrilling encounter between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings in Bengaluru. MS Dhoni’s magnificent innings helped CSK win a high scoring game with ease.
MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to field first on a flat track at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium. RCB scored 205/8 at the end of 20 overs courtesy AB de Villiers 68 runs in 30 balls and Mandeep Singh’s quickfire 32 runs in 17 balls.
They were 138/1 at the end of 13 over. With ABD and Quint🌱on de Kock batting on the crease, it looked like RCB might even score 250 at this ground but two back to back wickets in 15th over changed the course of the match and RCB could reach only 205.
CSK had a tough target to chase but Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu’s 101 run partnership made the chase possible. Rayudu scored 82 runs off 53 balls and Dhoni scored 70 in 34 balls.
The ‘Captain Cool’ hit 7 sixes and 1 four in his inning and CSK chased the target with 3 balls to spare. Dhoni as usual hit the winning six.
Film frater♍nity is all in praise for MS Dhoni on the micro-blogging site, Twitter. Have a look at some of the best ꦜtweets:
