CSK were stuck in third gear for much of the innings, until they got the end-overs flourish they wanted from MS Dhoni and Moeen Ali. The last four overs produced 63, and it's left LSG chasing 20 more than they looked like chasing at one point. But before the carnage, Jadeja held things together with a half-century after their middle-overs enforcer Shivam Dube had a rare off day.
Harshal: "If ever T20 World Cup would had an impact player rule. MSD would be my impact player. "
SunilBsawta : "Strange sort of tactics by Rahul, three bowlers having best economy rate were not allowed to complete their quotas."

Yash Thakur to Dhoni, FOUR, yorker-length outside off again, Dhoni stays deep inside the crease and opens the bat face late to slice this behind point. What a finish by MS Dhoni!

Yash Thakur to Dhoni, FOUR, off the edge, spins away between point and short third. Thakur did well to angle across a wide yorker but Dhoni's bat speed meant the ball still flew away

Yash Thakur to Dhoni, SIX, muscled! Stood deep inside the crease, got underneath the length as Yash Thakur missed his yorker and saw this slotball smashed wide of long-on.

Mohsin Khan to Jadeja, 1 run, short ball into the pitch, Jadeja is cramped for room as he can only just manage to hit it uppishly over cover

Mohsin Khan to Jadeja, no run, wide signalled! It's also a short ball that Jadeja fails to connect. LSG have reviewed Anil Chaudhary's call. Given fair delivery as the ball was head-height as it passed Jadeja. Not a wide

Mohsin Khan to Dhoni, SIX, walks across the stumps and uses the bowler's pace to help him over the bowler's head. The top-edge carries all the way.

Mohsin Khan to Dhoni, FOUR, drilled over cover, and he picks the gap to perfection. Bishnoi came around the ropes, half-hoping he gets to the ball. He ended up exceeding his own expectations, yet couldn't catch because that was hit like a bullet

Mohsin Khan to Dhoni, 1 wide, beaten as he attempts to cut this slower length ball angling away. Dhoni challenges the wide call and wins it. The ball was just outside the wide line, reckons the third umpire. Quite bizarre to be honest.

Mohsin Khan to Dhoni, 1 wide, slants it too full and too far wide outside off, left alone

Ravi Bishnoi to Ali, OUT, picks out deep midwicket this time. Didn't time it as well as he would've liked, Moeen's followthrough and his reaction as he hit it was a dead giveaway, but hey, he walks off to a rousing reception. Ekana stands.......because MS Dhoni's walking out

Ravi Bishnoi to Ali, SIX, flat-batted to clear long-off! Absolutely clobbered that length ball angled across. Raises the half-century of the partnership. Moeen has messed with Bishnoi. Because he's been clobbered by the tossed up deliveries, he goes flat, Moeen did well to hang back and wallop that

Ravi Bishnoi to Ali, SIX, this one is even bigger and better! Tossed up on middle and leg, Moeen is down on one knee very quickly as he slog-sweeps this over the short boundary at deep midwicket.
