MS Dhoni is now one of the very few players to be playing in the league since its inception in 2008. Having build a legacy, fans are rushing to the stadiums in anticipation to have the last glance of MS Dhoni playing. Be it CSK's home ground or away grounds, the love for Dhoni and CSK has come showering.

Rain deprives the fans of action as rain abandons the game for only the second time in the history of IPL outside of Bengaluru

It has been only the second time in the history of IPL that a game ended in 'No Result' outside of Bengaluru. The first happened in Delhi in 2011 between Delhi Daredevils & Pune Warriors India. Today's game between LSG and CSK was perfectly set up for another thriller after Ayush Badoni's courageous knock on a tough track. After being reduced to 44/5, Ayush Badoni took charge and played a counter-attacking inning of 59*(33) until the rain disrupted the action.

For CSK, the spin trio of Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, and Maheesh Theekshana made all the noise as they collectively accounted for all the seven wickets of LSG that fell today. As seen previously, low-scoring games have turned into last-ball thrillers and this match was too heading toward the same.
