The Chennai Super Kings ran riot at the Wankhede Stadium as they defeated their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians by 20 runs. MS Dhoni's last-over heroics and Matheesha Pathrana's four-wicket haul made headlines from CSK's win over MI. In the post-match presentation, Ruturaj Gaikwad was asked to pick one key moment from the match that pleased him the most, and the CSK skipper hilariously picked MS Dhoni's three consecutive sixes.
Chennai Super Kings pulled off a dominant 20-run win over the Mumbai Indians on the back of incredible finishes in both innings. Batting first, CSK posted a 206-run total thanks to Ruturaj Gaikwad's 69 and MS Dhoni's 4-ball 20. In reply, Rohit Sharma's 106 went in vain as MI fell short by 20 runs thanks to Matheesha Pathirana's 4-28.
After the game, CSK skipper Gaikwad was asked about the moment from the match that pleased him the most. While Ruturaj had many options to pick from including Pathirana's four wickets and MS Dhoni's sixes, the 27-year-old picked his former captain's sensational cameo and hilariously said, "Definitely, our young wicketkeeper (MS Dhoni) scoring that three sixes down the order. I think it helped a lot and I feel in the end that's the difference."
