The replays showed MS Dhoni's quick hands once again which confirmed the dismissal. Dhoni's heroics sent the Chepauk crowd into overdrive. The CSK fans had the money's worth as they saw their Thala come up with the moment of the match.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, did not get much of the strike in the first 10 overs. He anchored the chase against KKR in the same manner that he has played so far in the innings. Meanwhile, RCB lost their second wicket in the 8th over. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad took a diving catch a cover to send Devdutt Padikkal back to the pavillion. He was batting well on 27 runs before he was dismissed. He played a few big shots against the spinners, but it was spin that was finally his undoing.
