MS Dhoni lived up to his reputation of being the best finisher in the business as Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by three wickets in the Indian Premier League clash on Thursday evening.

Chasing a 156-run target, Super Kings lost wickets at regular intervals starting from the first delivery itself. A 50-run partnership for the third wicket between Robin Uthappa (30) and Ambati Rayudu (40) did provide some stability but the defending champions’ run rate suffered as they lost wickets in the middle overs.

The 40-year-old former skipper of CSK hammered Jaydev Unadkat for 16 runs in the final over as CSK edged past Mumbai Indians' total in the final ball of the match. As Dhoni finished off in style, he also earned the likes of fans and some cricketers like Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan and many more.

Virender Sehwag took to his Twitter and wrote, "MS Dhoni … Om Finishaya Namaha . What a win. Romba Nalla #MIvsCSK". While Raina wrote, "Well played @msdhoni skipper." It is also notable that this was CSK's second win of the campaign, while Mumbai endured their seventh consecutive defeat.

MS Dhoni … Om Finishaya Namaha .
What a win. Romba Nalla #MIvsCSK
