#7 Chennai Super Kings - Mahendra Singh Dhoni -79*(44) vs Kings XI Punjab in 2018

Dhoni failed to get CSK over the line on a rare occasion

After Chris Gayle's blitzkrieg helped Kings XI Punjab post a huge 197/7 in their 20 overs against the Chennai Super Kings in a league match in 2018, CSK got off to a shaky start, losing both the openers early in the innings. Ambati Rayudu's calm 49 off 35 helped Chennai reach near the target but it was MS Dhoni whose innings scared the KXIP bowling attack. The Ranchi batsman was at his vintage best as smashed 5 sixes and 6 fours in his 44 ball stay on the crease. Dhoni, as always took the game to the last over with CSK requiring 17 off the final 6 balls.

It seemed like Dhoni would take CSK home but some excellent bowling by Sandeep Sharma ensured the Punjab franchise win the match by 4 runs.
