IPL Highlights, CSK vs RCB: Dhoni powers Chennai to 6 wicket win

Chennai Super Kings on Sunday host Royal Challengers Bangalore at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune in the Indian Premier League 2018.

Dhoni-led CSK have so far enjoyed a fine season and are currently sitting 2nd on the points table with same point as the league leaders. Whereas Kohli-led RCB have had a topsy-turvy so far with inconsistency hampering their season so far.

Stat attack: MS Dhoni has scored the most runs by any player against RCB in IPL - 678. Raina is third in this list with 617 runs.

Highlights:

# Ravindra Jadeja - It's good to get MoM awards in a T20 game. Very happy with the way I bowled today. The wicket was a bit dry, the ball was holding a bit, I was looking to bowl in the right areas and not give them width. Bhajji also bowled very well, together, we tried not to give them too many runs. Overall, I am very happy, I finally took a few wickets, looking to do better and better in the coming games.

# MS Dhoni - I think it was a par score, it wasn't coming on nicely. I thought spinners came into play, both Jaddu and Bhajjipa did very well, they kept us in the game. On this wicket, we can't get to know what is a good score. Batting - it could have been better. We were worried about the bowling department, in the last few games, there's no one individual who has come up and taken that place. The good thing is we have a lot of all-rounders, we need to know who is our death bowling option going ahead, that's what we are worried about.

# Kohli - I think it was a close match, we did really well to pull it back but two drop catches doesn't help. It wasn't an ideal day for us, six out of six soft dismissals is really rare to see but that is how this game goes. We gave a good effort in the second half, we knew it is going to be difficult with the total we had .This wicket surprised me, we knew it was going to be slow but it played slow under the lights too. It was difficult to score in the end, had we taken the chances we could have made the match closer. Everyone loves to see MSD striking the ball, the way he is doing. The bigger picture is that it is good for Indian cricket.
