Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have made it to their 9th IPL final after a four-wicket win against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday (October 10). CSK captain MS Dhoni started trending on social media after finishing off the run-chase with his unbeaten 6-ball 18 runs knock.

It was Ruturaj Gaikwad's innings of 70 runs in 50 balls and Robin Uthappa's 44-ball 63 that kept CSK in the run-chase. But they lost quick wickets after the second-wicket partnership of 110 runs.

An out-of-form Dhoni walked in at number 7 when everyone expected Ravindra Jadeja to come and finish the run chase. Jadeja has shown his ability with the bat this season with some important knocks under pressure.

But Dhoni backed himself and successfully scored the remaining runs with three fours and a six in the last two overs. Fans went crazy over the vintage finish and the social media was all praise for the CSK captain.

Super Kings are on the verge of winning their fourth title and they would need Dhoni to carry momentum from this knock to the final on October 15.

Here are the reactions of fans to Dhoni's innings:
