Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings, 12th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

KXIP win by 4 runs

Dhoni finishes with a six. But CSK finish 4 short. What a thrilling finale. Shades of the old Dhoni, the Dhoni everyone loves. Dhoni finishes with 79* but Mohit Sharma crucially bowled those two deliveries on the tramlines. Those were the key.

If only they'd been quicker through the middle, CSK may have gone three from three! But well... they have played three thrillers. Today the last word, rightfully, must belong to Ashwin and his KXIP boys. Top stuff!

17 off 6

Holy Moly! MS Dhoni. Nails a six over deep mid-wicket, upper cuts a four and then swings, one handed, for another six. 19 off Andrew Tye's over. Can Bravo and Dhoni finish this!

36 off 12

Dhoni gets a 34-ball 50 after smoking Mohit SHarma over the long-on fence. He could have been out first ball off the over but a dropped catch allows the CSK skipper to go on. Outside chance but still the middle-overs are likely to cost the visitors here.

This version of MS Dhoni...

is just not fun to watch. Today he may have been hampered by back spasms. But his innings just don't seem to be going anywhere. Striking at 110 in such big chases while consuming a bulk of the balls in the middle-overs will not cut it. He may have to reassess. It may not make for pretty reading, but the game may have gone too ahead even for his fast self.

67 off 24!
