The ageless Mahendra Singh Dhoni produced a nostalgic little innings to take a band of old men from Chennai Super Kings into their ninth Indian Premier League final after beating Delhi Capitals by four wickets here on Sunday. DC though will get another shot at making it to the final when they meet the winner of the eliminator between KKR and RCB scheduled Monday.

Needing 13 off the last over, Dhoni hit a square cut, got a bit of luck going his way and then pulled DC’s best bowler Tom Curran for the most celebrated T20 boundary of recent times. Before that, he had just slapped Avesh Khan for a six over mid-wicket. Curran and Avesh weren’t bad but it was one of those days, the cricketing Gods wanted the 40-year-old to finish it in style. It was 18 not out in six balls that helped CSK reach 173 for 6 in 19.4 overs.

It was all about turning the clock back for the former India captain who has struggled to finish for years but ‘Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man’ as he did once more for his favourite cricket team. After the win, his emotional wife Sakshi was engaged in a beer hug with daughter Ziva which would tell what it meat to the family….IPL 2021 FINAL
