Lucknow, Charismatic captain MS Dhoni, who once again took charge of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has once again brought his team, which was struggling this season, on the path to victory. Dhoni showed his strategy in this match as well as his familiar style in wicketkeeping and batting on the field. In this match, he took one catch, one stump and a run out, while Dhoni, who came to bat at number 7, scored an unbeaten 26 runs in just 11 balls, which included 4 fours and 1 six. This was Mahi's match-winning innings, for which he got the Player of the Match title.

When Dhoni was selected for this title, he was also surprised by this. Because Dhoni believed that the biggest impact in this match was of his team's left-arm bowler Noor Ahmed, who may not have got any wicket but he conceded only 13 runs in his 4 overs bowling. Dhoni said, when I heard my name for this title, I was surprised and was thinking, 'Why are they giving me the award? Noor really bowled brilliantly.'

After this victory, he said, 'It is good to win the match, when you play such a tournament, you want to win the match. Unfortunately many matches (earlier ones) did not go our way, whatever the reason may be. There can be many reasons for that. It is good that we have won. This gives confidence to the whole team and it helps in the areas in which we want to improve.'

43-year-old Dhoni said, 'Everyone knows that in cricket if something does not go our way, then God makes it difficult and this was also a difficult match. If you look at the powerplay, no matter what the combination or situation, we were struggling with the ball. And as a batting unit, we were not able to start the way we wanted.'

On this occasion, he also talked about Ashwin's game and said that we were putting pressure on him. Earlier, he was bowling 2 overs in 6. But we made changes here and now it looks like a great attack.
