Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni chased down 206 runs to lead CSK to the top of points table, beating RCB by 5 wickets
Chasing a huge total of 206, Chennai Super Kings' captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu held their nerves after wickets fell in the initial overs.
Dwayne Bravo hit some good shots in the last over to make it easy for MSD to hit the winning shot. With this win, CSK goes on the top of VIVO IPL points table.
MS DHONI'S TRADEMARK FINISH
After the West Indies batsman launched a massive six and a four, Dhoni calmly mauled a length ball into the stands at deep mid wicket to seal an epic win. Pure legendary stuff.
A CRUCIAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN AMBATI RAYUDU AND DHONI
The partnership between Ambati Rayudu and Dhoni turned it around for CSK. Rayudu contributed a brilliant 82 runs to the run chase as CSK beat Royal Challengers Banglore by 5 wickets with two balls to spare.
RCB's bowling attack floundered in the penultimate overs, despite having built pressure on CSK by reducing them to 74-4.
Earlier, quick wickets and a few runouts helped CSK restrict RCB to 205 when they could have crossed 220 easily. Some brilliant bowling at the death helped CSK's cause. However, Washington Sundar hit it well and helped RCB touch 200 mark.
A CLASSIC SHOW BY 'CAPTAIN COOL'
Dhoni's 70 off 34 balls and the over-boundary finish was a déjà vu for cricket fans across India as his innings rekindled the memories of a classic Dhoni showdown.
