The team gave a target of 157 runs to Mumbai.
His DRS against arch-rivals MI on Sunday helped CSK get rid of MI opener Quinton de Kock.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made a winning start in the UAE leg IPL 2021 On Sunday, they beat Mumbai Indians by 20 runs in Dubai. It was not an easy victory for the team led by the captain. M S Dhoni. CSK faltered with the bat after winning the toss as they went 7/3 and then 24/4 before Ruturaj Gaikwad and Dwayne Bravo stepped in.
Dhoni may have failed to impress the fans with his batting, but his smart use of the Decision Review System (DRS) is so perfect that fans call it the ‘Dhoni Review System’. His use of DRS on Sunday against arch-rivals MI helped CSK get rid of MI opener Quinton de Kock.
Chasing the target of 157 runs, de Kock gave MI a great start by hitting three fours. In the second over, the left-hander failed to judge an outswinger from Deepak Chahar, which hit him on the pads. The pacer was sure that the ball was hitting the stumps and appealed to the field-umpire along with the team. However, the umpire ruled in favor of Batman by giving him not out.
Chahar was convinced he had his man and immediately reached out to MS Dhoni, who quickly took a review. Chahar had reassured him that the ball was hitting the stumps – and it was. The verdict proved to be in CSK’s favor as the big screen showed that the ball was in line to de Kock and was hitting the stumps. Dhoni’s quickness and his use of DRS again proved beneficial for the team and a disappointed de Kock had to take a long walk back.
Pictures and videos of Dhoni taking a review have also gone viral on social media, with fans praising his captaincy.
CSK won the toss and decided to bat first. The team set a target of 157 runs to Mumbai, but the latter team could only score 136 runs for 8 wickets in the allotted overs. With this win, CSK topped the points table with six wins from eight matches.
