Chasing the target of 176, Dhoni (32 off 17 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja (25 off 15 balls) were on track as 21 was required off the last over. The final score for CSK was 172 for 6, as Dhoni was unable to lead CSK to victory in front of 30,000 at the Chepauk Stadium. But his heroics near the conclusion of the game attracted a staggering 2.2 crore viewers on Jio Cinema.

With a barrage of sixes against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni reduced it to five off one ball. However, medium-pacer Sandeep Sharma, a late replacement for the Rajasthan Royals, struck a perfect yorker, depriving MS Dhoni of his expected hitting arc.
The Royals would receive a significant boost from a three-run victory at CSK’s stadium as they begin to think they can succeed anywhere. R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, two seasoned spinners, were instrumental in Sandeep’s ability to maintain composure while defending 21 in the final over. In their eight overs, the two managed to take four wickets and only let up 52 runs, making things difficult for the hosts.
