MS Dhoni's 16 runs off the last over to win the match against KXIP was one of his favourite moments.
Former Aussie and CSK batsman Michael Hussey recently took the “my IPL moment” challenge, in which the left-hander revealed a couple of his favorite moments from the last 12 editions of the tournament.
The first favorite moment was from the qualifier of the 2018 edition of IPL in which the Chennai based franchise faced Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

“We were in trouble at the Wankhede Stadium, Rashid Khan was bowling very well. Faf (du Plessis) opened the batting and hung in there. We weren't sure how we were going to win the match but he hit the winning runs against Bhuvneshwar Kumar and got us into that final and more importantly were went on to win that final,” the former CSK opener said.

Hussey’s second favorite memory was the match against Kings XI Punjab in which MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings won the match with skipper Dhoni taking the team through by hitting 16 runs off the first four balls of the last over.
“In Dharamsala, coming into the game we were in the fifth position, outside the top four. We had to win, the game was tight, it came right down the wire. MSD was out in the middle, Irfan Pathan was bowling for KXIP.”
“We needed 12 to win off the last two balls and of course, captain cool hit two sixes in a row. Again were good enough to go and win the final against Mumbai Indians,” the 44-year-old added.
