This match was one of the rare occasions where MS Dhoni let go of his calm and cool tag and celebrated wildly after guiding CSK home. In a do or die game for the Super Kings at Dharamsala, the Punjab side gave Dhoni's men a tough target of 192. The captain came after 10 overs when CSK needed another 104 runs.

MS was batting with a purpose that day as he scored 54 from 29 balls which included five fours and two sixes. The last 47 runs in the chase came in just 18 balls with Irfan Pathan conceding 18 in the last over of the match.

His first four balls (2,4,6,6) ended the match with MS Dhoni two humongous sixes with one of them crossing the boundaries of the stadium. Dhoni celebrated by punching his helmet as Pathan was ripped apart by the Dhoni storm.

This was easily MS Dhoni's best IPL inning and one of the best matches in the history of the T20 league.
