Aakash Chopra has applauded MS Dhoni for his stunning finish in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK)’s run chase against the Delhi Capitals (DC) which certainly gave a fitting reply to all cricket experts. CSK won the game by four wickets and two deliveries to spare and became the first team to qualify for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 final as well.

MS Dhoni smashed 18 runs off just six deliveries and helped CSK reach to their ninth IPL final. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said: “Mahi maar raha hai. Mahendra de-dan-a-dan Dhoni. Mahi hai to abhi bhi mumkin hai. MS Dhoni showed once again that whenever the book on cricket is written, he will write the final chapter, and it will be written on him. He knows it best; we all looked like fools in the end.”

Aakash Chopra again explained: “I was saying before this that this team is playing with nine players because Raina and the captain were not scoring runs. Now the captain has scored runs, Robbie has scored runs; now this team is playing with proper eleven men.”

Robin Uthappa, who walked into bat at No.3, smashed 63 runs off just 44 balls and stitched together added a 110-run for the second-wicket with Ruturaj Gaikwad. Aakash Chopra said that MS Dhoni has played some majestic shots during his short stint in the middle.

He elaborated: “Some of MS Dhoni’s shots, the six he hit off Avesh Khan. The leg-side boundary was short of course, but it was an 84m six. After that, he hit Tom Curran towards covers because it was shorter on that side. Absolutely sensational, 18 runs off six balls.”

“This tournament has once again become where seven teams compete to play the Chennai Super Kings in the final. First team to get eliminated in 2020 and first team to qualify and reach the final in 2021. Devam Dhoni, the magic you do, only you can do that,” he concluded.
