Vintage MS Dhoni puts Khaleel Ahmed under the pump

Chennai Super Kings will be satisfied with their batting display against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The hosts were struggling to score runs at a fair clip but MS Dhoni once again came up with a crucial cameo and hammered 20 off just 9 balls to drag his franchise past 160. Chennai Super Kings aggregated 50 from the final five overs and given the nature of the surface, they will back themselves to defend the par score.

Earlier in the tournament, back-in-form Suryakumar Yadav was the cynosure of all eyes as he pummeled Royal Challengers Bangalore into submission. He scored his third successive fifty at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai this season. The unorthodox right-hander and Nehal Wadhera were only dealing in boundaries at one point as Mumbai Indians reached 141/3 after 13 overs. The five-time champions needed a manageable 59 runs to win from seven overs, and breached the target in a canter.
