IPL 2018: Watch - Father-Daughter Reunite after Chennai Super Kings Seal Title

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni reunited with his daughter, Ziva after CSK sealed their third Indian Premier League (IPL) title beating Hyderabad by eight wickets at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

Meanwhile, many doubted Chennai’s chances after the auctions. The average squad side was above 30. However, CSK put all the speculations to bed and crowned the IPL champions on Sunday night.

Shikhar Dhawan and skipper Kane Williamson got Hyderabad to a good start after losing the early wicket of Shreevats Goswami. The pair added 51 before Dhawan departed, however, Williamson (47) continued his outstanding form.

Further, Yusuf Pathan played a blinder of an innings after he came to the crease at the 101 for three. Pathan remained unbeaten on 45 runs off 25 deliveries including four boundaries and two sixes, as Hyderabad finished on 178 at the loss of six wickets.

However, Chennai came back brilliantly in the last two overs to keep the score within 180. Lungi Ngidi finished his debut stint in India on a high with an impressive figure of one for 26 in his four overs.

In reply, Chennai got off to a very slow start seeing off the new ball. They managed to score 35 runs for the loss of one wicket at the end of the powerplay overs.

Since then, it has been one person show with Shane Watson dominating the best bowling attack of the tournament. He brought his second IPL century of this season in just 51 deliveries to become the fourth batsmen to achieve so.

Chennai scripted a spectacular comeback, as they reached the target with nine balls to spare, as Watson remained unbeaten on 117 runs from 57 balls.

MS Dhoni and Ziva’s cute reunion

Meanwhile, at the post-match presentation ceremony, Dhoni played the father’s act with due perfection. Overwhelmed with joy, Ziva, his daughter, was running to reunite with his father.

Seeing that, Dhoni picked her up and posed with her for the photo session. The cute Ziva comes to support her father in all the game along with her mother, Sakshi.
