In one of the most amazing finishes in recent memory, Dhoni smashed 16 runs off the last four balls. Dhoni-led Chennai to 156/7 by hammering left-arm fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat for 6, 4, 2 4 in the final over.
Mumbai’s seventh consecutive defeat effectively destroyed the team’s chances of making the playoffs.
When Dhoni raised the triumph with a flicked boundary to fine leg off Unadkat’s well-directed yorker, Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma put his cap over his face.
Despite dropping four catches and Dhoni squandering a stumping opportunity, Chennai managed to restrict Rohit Sharma’s squad to 155-7.
“Actually we were very tense, the way the game was going,” said Chennai skipper Ravindra Jadeja, who dropped two of four catches. “He (Dhoni) showed the world that he’s still here and he can finish the game. We need to do some work on our fielding and take catches because we can’t keep dropping catches in every game.”
