Chennai Super Kings finally returned to winning ways with a comprehensive win over Kings XI Punjab on Sunday. The MS Dhoni-led side thrashed the KL Rahul-led side by ten wickets to end their three-game losing streak and register their second win of the competition in five games.
Batting first, KXIP finished its innings on 178 for 4. At 152 for 2 after 17 overs, they were looking set to score something around 200 but the 18th over bowled by Shardul Thakur changed the complexion. The pacer managed to remove the dangerous Nicholas Pooran and KL Rahul, two set batsmen, on consecutive deliveries in the 18th over while conceding just three runs. Rahul top-scored for his side, scoring 63.
MS Dhoni gives tips:
After the game ended, a beautiful sight was witnessed. Keeping aside the rivalry, MS Dhoni was seen giving tips to his KXIP counterpart KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. Both Rahul and Agarwal were all ears as one of the modern day greats gave them some valuable tips.
