The packed house at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was thrilled to bits in the southern derby of the IPL 2018 season on Wednesday. The Royal Challengers Bangalꦗore hosted the Chennai Super Kings i𓆉n the marquee clash that created a lot of buzzes prior to its commencement. And now that the game is done and dusted, it is still set to make a few headlines for the next couple of days for sure.
The match turned out to be an absolute runfest. The Chennai Super Kings were set a target of 205 to win and at one stage in the game, it a✨ll looked grim for them.
Ambati Rayudu played an anchoring knock on the day to keep Che🐼nnai Super Kings interested. Also, the CSK skipper MS Dhoni rose to the occasion to hammer an unbeaten 70 off just 34 balls to seal the game for his side. Yet again, Dhoni finished things off in s📖tyle with a six.
Here is how the fans reacted to CSK’s win over RCB:
That's Mahendra Finisher Dhoni for you 😎
