VIDEO | MS Dhoni’s match winning six secures highest run chase at Chinnaswamy

However, an offensive Virat Kohli had exhausted most of his bowling arsenal in the first 10 overs with the likes of Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal doing the damage in the initial overs. While it would be wrong to say that a potential partnership in the fourth and fifth wicket was not foreseen, but RCB missed a huge chance when Yadav dropped Rayudu’s catch in the 16th over. As a result, not only Rayudu punished him with two consecutive sixes, but also made a crucial 101-run partnership with his skipper.

After Rayudu got out in the 18th over with 30 needed off the last 13 balls, the match was perfectly placed for Dhoni to finish. And Mohammed Siraj’s spell in the 19th over pretty much gifted them the game with just 16 runs remaining in the last over, Dwayne Bravo churned out 11 runs in the first three balls, which included a four and a six before giving it to Dhoni to do the honours.
