Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni once again came up with an accurate Decision Review System (DRS) against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday (September 19). Dhoni is considered one of the most successful captains when it comes to DRS conversion.
CSK needed early wickets to defend 157 runs in the inaugural match of the IPL 2021's second phase. Deepak Chahar provided Super Kings with an important breakthrough by dismissing the MI opener Quinton de Kock in the third over.
Chahar trapped De Kock in front of the stumps but the umpire didn't feel it was out. It made Dhoni go for DRS after confirming with the bowler that the ball didn't pitch outside leg-stump.
The 'Dhoni Review System' worked well again as the umpire had to change his decision after a replay showed it was plumb LBW. Fans were delighted to see CSK skipper getting the DRS right and the tweets in appreciation flooded Twitter.
CSK win the match by 20 runs after restricting MI to 136/8 in the 20 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad played a blinder to give his team a chance. He won the Man of the Match award for his unbeaten 88 runs.
