It was a difficult pitch to bat on at Cheapuk and CSK lost wickets at regular intervals after being asked to bat first, but it was MS Dhoni who rescued them by playing a brilliant knock and take them to a good total. The cricketing world went gaga after vintage Dhoni turned on the heat against RR.

If you have a calm mind you can achieve anything!

In my profession, in live television, I have learnt that there is always more time than you think there is. MS Dhoni shows that everyday on a cricket field. The power of a calm mind!

Dhoni turning back the clock at the right time!

What was looking like being an average total is now an absolutely challenging one - One Man made the Difference - MS Dhoni. Remember, he came in when @ChennaiIPL were in a trouble at 27/3 . This is experience for you #CSKvRR

Virender Sehwag had the perfect tweet for what Dhoni did!

Not Whistle Podu, but that was Whistle Todu and Whistle Fodu from Dhoni.

Very very good to see#CSKvRR

The final over made all the difference!

Take a bow @msdhoni, you were sensational! Great final over for #CSK and #RR have a mountain to climb to chase 175 even allowibg for the dew factor

The slow grind!

This is why everyone backs @msdhoni so much, he knows how to save his team.First, settle in slowly and then destroy the opposition in the final overs. Superb batting! #CSKvRR @ChennaiIPL

It was enough!

The king of Chennai rules again. But is this enough? @msdhoni has been brilliant today. Better wicket so Rajasthan will still have a chance.
