In Delhi Capitals’ reply, Shaw got out for a duck and Rahane made 8. But Dhawan made valuable partnerships of 68 with Iyer (23) and then 43 with Stoinis (24), to keep DC in the game. He made his maiden IPL hundred in his 167th innings in 57 balls.
With 17 needed off the last over, Dhoni took a huge risk by bringing on Jadeja, and Akshar Patel slammed him for three sixes, putting an end to the match with 21* in 5 balls. Dhawan remained unbeaten on 101* in 58 balls with 14 fours and 1 six.
Delhi reached the target with 5 wickets in hand, while Deepak Chahar was the best CSK bowler with 2/18 in 4 overs. Dhoni later revealed that Bravo was off the field due to some fitness issues and hence he had to go with Jadeja for the last over.
The cricket fraternity was all praises on Twitter for Dhawan’s amazing knock and Akshar Patel's last over heroics which took DC to the top of the table.
