Dhoni, who stepped out to bat after the dismissal of Moeen Ali, immediately got on the act and found a boundary off Sunil Narine’s bowling. Dhoni edged Narine behind the wicket-keeper for a boundary on a free-hit delivery. That boundary looked to have got Dhoni back in touch.

He was out to a fantastic catch from Eoin Morgan at extra-cover bringing an end to Dhoni’s stay at the crease. CSK, however, went on and posted a mammoth 220 runs on the scoreboard.
