In a video shared by Chennai Super Kings Twitter Handle, Faf Du Plessis says, “MS Dhoni has been, obviously, part of the team since the beginning but I see him as the best finisher in the game. To have been on the field and in the side of the field for so many years and to have just seen him construct innings together and how he has finished games.”

#Faf has taken @ImRaina's #MyIPLMoment challenge and mentions quite a few legendary ones. But we are not gonna let him discount his incredible 67* off 42 to take us Fafulously into the 2018 Final! :') The baton now passes on to @mhussey393! #WhistlePodu @faf1307 🦁💛 pic.twitter.com/okpiPWOQDH

Faf Du Plessis recalls Dhoni’s 87 off 40-odd balls knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore as his best innings. Du Plessis remembers how the CSK were in trouble when Dhoni helped to bring things back on track. He mentions how CSK were reduced to 60 for seven in that match.

“There have been a lot of them but I will mention that is fresh in my memory. Last year against RCB. I think we were 60-6 or 7 and basically we should be bowled out for 90. He was in at the moment and absorbed pressure very well. Then he started hitting more and more sixes. The sixes he was hitting was out of the stadium. He ended up getting 87 off 40-odd balls. I think it was 26 required off the last over and after the game, we were like what just happened,” Du Plessis said.
