Now, just two runs were remaining on the final ball. But then, Dhoni missed a slower one from Yadav. He failed to connect the ball, with the bat as it sneaked through.

The duo then, ran for the bye, but Parthiv Patel was too quick for Shardul Thakur at striker’s end. He under armed, a throw to run, Shardul Thakur out. In the end, Chennai fell short by 1 Run as Dhoni, remained unbeaten on 84 runs. Chennai might have lost the match but it was MS Dhoni, who was the talk of the town with his brutal shots.
