Before MS Dhoni and Dwayne Bravo engaged themselves in a sprint, the two cricketers took the field for CSK in an all-important IPL 2018 final against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). While SRH posted a competitive 178-6 from their 20 overs, their total was easily overhauled by CSK on the back of some powerful hitting by their opener Shane Watson. Shane Watson was adjudged as ‘Player of the Match’ for scoring a six-laden 117* from 57 balls as CSK lifted their third IPL trophy.
