Watch: Excited MS Dhoni Celebrates Chennai Super Kings’ Stunning Win Animatedly

The script was set for Chennai Super Kings to make a grand entry in the Indian Premier League after a two-year gap. They were up against defending champions Mumbai Indians in their own backyard in the tournament-opener. A win in that game would have truly marked the Super Kings’ arrival in the league.

However, the script was unfolding in an unexpected manner. Chasing 166, the Super Kings were making heavy weather of the chase. They lost wickets at regular intervals and were looking primed to lose the game.

Chennai Super Kings were reeling at 119 for 8 after 17 overs with Imran Tahir to give company to Dwayne Bravo. The game looked as good as over by then. However, the drama was yet to unfold.

Bravo launched a stunning assault to guide Super Kings to a super win. In the 18th over, he hit 19 runs off Mitchell McClenaghan. In the following over, he slammed Jasprit Bumrah for three sixes before being dismissed off the final ball. At that time, Super Kings needed 7 off the last over. Some nervous moments then followed as Kedar Jadhav played three consecutive dot balls. However, he hit the next two balls for a six and four to seal a stunning win for his side.

Bravo scored 68 off just 30

And such was the manner of the win that even the ever-calm and composed MS Dhoni could not contain his emotions. The cameras captured the Super Kings skipper clapping his hands animatedly as he celebrated the memorable win.

Here is a snippet showing Dhoni’s celebrations:

Speaking after the game, Dhoni said:

“We’re coming back after two years, that’s also the reason that people are eager to watch us in action. Overall the spectators have been very good. I’m a practical person, so I was hoping in the dressing room that the quantum of defeat shouldn’t be too big. The idea was – if there’s a chance to win, go for it, but also try to get closer to the target.

The way Bravo batted, it was really good to see him take the responsibility. Don’t think we batted well as a team. But it’s the first game, so we’ll take the positives out of it. Those will be more important for us in the coming games. The kind of players we have got, our selection will be based on horses for courses where we’ll see the wicket and then decide. We’ll also keep an eye for players who are injury prone. We’ll have to keep an eye on lot of things. We have quite a few who can bat and bowl,” he added.
