Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni failed to finish a chase for his team which is a rare sight when he dons the yellow jersey. But on Friday, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowlers and the heat of Dubai emerged as winners.
Dhoni, who added unbeaten 47 runs in a 165 runs target, was seen struggling in the last five overs because of the tough conditions. He looked dehydrated and even admitted in the post-match presentation that his throat was getting dried.
The highest scorer for Super Kings was Ravindra Jadeja with a half-century on 35 deliveries. He added a partnership of 72 runs after CSK were 4 down on just 42 runs.
CSK lost the match by seven runs and the sight of Dhoni struggling was even more disheartening for the hardcore fans. They backed the 39-year-old on social media and expected him to fight back in the next match.
Currently, Chennai is at the bottom of the points table as they have won only one and lost three games already.
Here are the reactions from fans:
