Chennai Super Kings have qualified for the playoffs with 9 wins in 11 matches.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni sent Twitter into a frenzy as he finishes off another chase with a six. It has been a long time since Dhoni finished a chase in his trademark style.
Chasing 135 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday (September 30), the CSK captain came out to bat at number 6. He scored unbeaten 14 runs with a four and six as they were on the verge of a victory.
Dhoni completed the chase with a six which also sealed CSK's place into the playoffs of IPL 2021. Ambati Rayudu was at the other end with 17* runs off 13 deliveries as CSK defeated SRH by 6 wickets.
