“No data, nothing works against MS Dhoni. You have to respect the person and what he can do,” Samson said at the post-match presentation.

The fans were with Samson and praised Dhoni’s entertaining innings.

One fan wrote, “He knows who the goat is.”

Another fan replied, “Love you Mahi. Best finisher ever in world cricket. Love from Virat fan.”

“No one can match Dhoni’s six-hitting style with the high back lift and boom. Wow nice to see,” read a tweet.

Chasing Rajasthan’s total of 175, Chennai did not get off to a good start and lost Ruturaj Gaikwad in the third over itself. Devon Conway and Ajinkya Rahane kept the home side in the game.

In the end, it all came down to MS Dhoni, the old Chennai warrior. Sandeep Sharma bowled the last over of the match, with Chennai still needing 21 runs.

Sandeep bowled in a free-spirited manner initially and also hit two back-to-back leg-side sixes. But the clever bowler came back to bowl some yorkers and stop Dhoni in his tracks.
