Dhoni Made A Big Mistake
Dhoni came in his 8th position, which was his biggest mistake in this match; if he had sent himself before another batsman, CSK would have got 20-25 more runs, but coming at number 8, he did not get to play more balls. Pai and his mistake have become the reason for Chennai’s defeat in this match.
