MS Dhoni's late storm helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) earn a stunning victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 33 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, and skipper Ravindra Jadeja was just awestruck of the veteran. Dhoni's remarkable knock was complimented by Jadeja, who said the ex-CSK captain still has the same flare in him and can finish games for the franchise.
MI suffered their seventh defeat in the ongoing IPL season, with Dhoni guiding Chennai Super Kings to a three-wicket victory in a last-ball finish with a 13-ball 28 not out.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Jadeja said, "Actually we were very tense, the way the game was going, but at some stage we knew that the great finisher of the game was there and if he played to the last ball, he can definitely finish the match. He (Dhoni) showed the world that he's still here and he can finish the game."
On Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo, he said, ''We have plenty of experience in our team so they know when to perform and what to do. So if we're not winning the game, still we look to be calm and relax,"
"(On his dropped catches) I don't take fielding for granted and still work on it. We need to do some work on our fielding and take catches because we can't keep dropping catches in every game,'' Jadeja said about his side's below-par fielding show in the match.
CSK had won the toss and invited the opponents to bat first earlier in the match, as reduced MI to 47/4 early in the innings due to Mukesh Choudhary's outstanding new ball performance. MI bounced back after that, with Tilak Varma scoring a half-century and staying at one end for the duration of the innings.
