Chasing a modest total of 161, CSK got off to a horrible start as Shane Watson and Suresh Raina were sent back by Dale Steyn in the first over. Soon, Faf Du Plessis and Kedar Jadhav followed as CSK were left reeling at 28/4. At this point, MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu built up a solid partnership. Just as he was looking set and dangerous, Yuzvendra Chahal got rid of the latter for 29 runs.

It is then when the CSK skipper took things under his control. Even though he started slow, he shifted gears at the right time. With 26 needed off the final over, MS Dhoni started the over with a four and followed it up with two sixes off the bowling of Umesh Yadav. Two runs came off the fourth ball over the over. This brought the equation down to 8 from the last two balls. MS Dhoni hit a six off the second last ball but couldn’t hit the last ball out. Shardul Thakur tried to sneak a bye but was run out by Parthiv Patel as RCB won the match by 1 run.
