IPL 2018, RCB vs CSK: 5 talking points

#1 Dhoni still has plenty left to offer in his career

Dhoni was undoubtedly CSK's hero tonight

On seeing MS Dhoni’s performances in his last three games, one thing is for sure and that is Dhoni will be one of the stars of the tournament. Tonight, he played a gem of an innings under pressure. When things got rough for Chennai, their skipper smashed sixes to ease the pressure on Ambati Rayudu.

Following Rayudu’s dismissal, the pressure was totally on MSD as 30 runs were needed in the final two overs. However, he smashed a crucial six in the penultimate over to make things a little less difficult for CSK. In the final over, MSD ended the match in his manner with a magnificent strike into the crowd. The CSK skipper ended with 70 from just 34 deliveries, hitting just a boundary and smashing 7 sixes. He has deservingly adjudged the Man of the Match.

To sum it all up, this knock was an "On-your face" gesture from Dhoni to his critics.
