#Dubai: Mahendra Singh Dhoni proved once again why he is still a cricketer despite his age. By playing an innings of 18 runs, he brought the team a ticket to the final.Sunday was to see which team gets the ticket to the final in the first qualifier first. Chennai or Delhi? Chasing Delhi’s 172 runs, du Plessy failed to give Chennai a great start on the day. Nakhiyar was bowled by one run. However, Rituraj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa continued to pave the way for Chennai to reach their ninth final. The partnership of 110 runs is between the two. Robin batted brilliantly after a long day.
The Karnataka batsman won the Orange Cap in the 2014 IPL when Kolkata Knight Riders won the title for the second time. The innings of 63 runs was decorated with seven boundaries and two over boundaries. Finally, he was caught by Shreyas Iyer off Tom Curran. Mahendra Singh Dhoni made a bet by dropping Shardul Thakur at number four. But Tagore went back without opening the account.
Then Ambati Rayudu was suddenly run out. Chennai was under some pressure. Moin Ali came. On the other hand, Rituraj continued to try to take Chennai to the final. At this time, it seemed that Delhi had tasted blood. Chennai needed 24 runs to win in the last 12 balls. Rituraj was dismissed for 70 by Abesh Khan. Mahi hits a six off the fifth ball. 13 needed off the last 6 balls. Tom Curran came with the ball in hand. Out Moeen Ali. Dhoni hit four after three balls. Chennai won. Yellow jersey in the final.
Batting first at the Dubai International Stadium, Delhi did not get off to a good start. Shikhar Dhawan returned with a catch to Dhoni off Hazlewood. A complete failure Shreyas Iyer. The Australian pacer hit the ball and the ball went up under the bat. Rituraj took an easy catch. Then Akshar Patel returned with 10 runs. No one knows on what grounds he was brought down to number four.
On the other hand, Prithvi Shaw was batting with great pace. After a long time, the Mumbai batsman was seen batting with confidence. The innings of 60 runs was decorated with seven boundaries and three over boundaries. But Jadeja hit the ball over cover and took a catch at long off in Du Plessy’s hands.
Prithviraj’s dismissal slowed down Delhi’s run-rate. Panth and Hetmyer were at the crease but could not score runs easily. Moin Ali, Jadeja wisely said. Delhi was not coming to the boundary at all. But the thing to watch is that Dhoni allowed Bravo to bowl the first ball at the end of 15 overs. The thing is clear, Dhoni’s plan was to use the team’s best bowlers as much as possible in the death overs. Mahendra Singh Dhoni ultimately wins the Guru vs Disciple battle. Rishabh Panth realized that he still had a lot to learn.
