MS Dhoni appears to be ageing backwards after hammering three consecutive sixes in the final over bowled by MI captain Hardik Pandya. The former CSK captain helped his side score 26 runs in the last over. MSD, with superb shot-making, stormed to 20* off only four balls, propelling the Chennai Super Kings to 206 for four. While bowling, Matheesha Pathirana took 4 for 28 to bring MI's chase to an end at 186 for six, earning Player of the Match. Rohit Sharma was the sole hero for MI as he scored a ton against CSK, but it did not help Mumbai as they lost after winning two back-to-back games.
