Dhoni was cheered by Rutu

In this case, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruduraj Gaekwad made fun of former captain Dhoni. A related video is going viral on social media.

In the post-match meeting, the commentator asked captain Ruduraj, “What pleased you the most about this win?” To which captain Ruduraj replied, “Our young wicketkeeper (MS Dhoni) coming down the low-order and hitting three sixes in a row helped a lot. That made the difference in the game,” he said with a smile.

He further said, “You need 10-15 extra runs on a ground like this. We were looking at 215-220 runs. But Bumrah bowled well.

In terms of bowling, we clearly executed our solidity. Even in the powerplay we conceded only 60 runs in 6 overs. These types of grounds require skills in both batting and bowling. Our (Lasith) Malinga (Matisha Pathirana) bowled well and hit those yorkers like nails.

Jinks (Rahane) was struggling a bit. I thought it was good for him to open up and get quick runs. I am ready to bat anywhere,” said captain Ruduraj Gaekwad.
