Santner does a Dhoni in nail-biter vs Rajasthan
Despite some umpiring flaws, Chennai Super Kings held their nerves to clinch a nail-biting thriller against Rajasthan Royals as Mitchell Santner’s last ball six sealed another win for the defending champions here on Thursday.
With Chennai reeling at 24/4, it was Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu who anchored their team’s innings and took their side on the verge of victory before falling as Santner played a Dhoni to take the game away for the yellow brigade.
Chasing a modest 151-run target, Chennai were off to a worst possible start as they lost openers — Shane Watson (0) and Faf du Plessis (7) –and Suresh Raina (4) with just 15 runs on board.
