It is to be noted that MS Dhoni came in to bat at No. 9 during the game. He batted lower than the offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who came in ahead of him at No. 8. The move was hugely surprising as it dented CSK's chances of a win.

Sehwag joked and wondered whether the former CSK captain came in too early to bat. He further reminded everyone that Dhoni usually comes to bat only in the last two overs, but he came in at the 16th over this time.
"When he came (to bat), 16 overs had been bowled, but usually he comes at the 19th or the 20th over. In this way, he came in to bat early. Either he came early or his batters lost the wickets early, he exclaimed.

MS Dhoni's knock goes in vain
After Shivam Dube was dismissed in the 13th over by Yash Dayal, it was expected that MS Dhoni would come in to bat next at his usual position of No. 8. With CSK needing more than 100 runs in just 7 overs at that time, a cameo from him was desperately required.
It took him some balls to get going, but the legendary finisher finally connected one by smacking Josh Hazlewood through the leg side in the penultimate over of the match. He smashed another boundary of Hazlewood's next delivery.
RCB created history by defeating CSK
Dhoni's knock didn't have much impact in the match as CSK still lost by 50 runs. It was a dominating performance from RCB as they registered a competitive total of 196-7 after being put in to bat first.
Hazlewood picked up the two early wickets, and it dented CSK's hopes of coming back into the game. It is RCB's first win in Chennai in 17 years. Their last win at this ground came way back in 2008.
