M S Dhoni Turned the clock back during his innings that turned Chennai Super Kings into second IPL The last. ‘Thala’ came out to bat with a score of 149/5 and the team stumbled as Ruturaj Gaikwad fell victim to a brilliant catch from Axar Patel at deep. But here Delhi Capitals made the biggest mistake of the game as they handed the ball to Tom Curran, with CSK needing 13 runs in the final over. By this time, Dhoni had caught his eye as he had already hit Avesh Khan for a six. Curran started with the wicket of Moeen Ali and then lost his way as Dhoni sent his team home with two balls to spare. Not to mention, that this is another IPL final for Chennai Super Kings. Nine to be exact.
