IPL 2018, RCB vs CSK: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: MS Dhoni

It was vintage Dhoni at the Chinnaswamy today.

MS Dhoni has been in good form this year. His 79 against KXIP was one of his best IPL knocks, but CSK lost that game.

In this game, Dhoni unleashed beast mode once again. Coming into bat at 74/4 in the 9th over, the CSK skipper was off the mark the second ball he faced with a magnificent six over mid-wicket. That six set the tone for his innings and he had raced off to 21 in 12 balls. And then with Rayudu going great guns at the other end, he took the back seat and rotated well. He did score boundaries when the opportunity arose.

With 99 required off the last 7 overs, Dhoni unleashed himself on the RCB bowlers as he struck a magnificent 70 off 34 balls and took CSK to an unbelievable win. The former Indian skipper was very wise with the way he paced his innings as he planned which bowlers to target.

He waited for Chahal to finish his quota and then he knew RCB didn’t have the best of death bowlers and hence, went after them. He struck 7 mammoth sixes in his unbeaten knock of 70.

And to cap off the magnificent knock, Dhoni finished things off in a typical fashion as he struck a massive six over mid-wicket on the fourth ball off the final over. Fittingly, MS Dhoni was also the Man of the Match.
