Moeen set Dhoni up with three successive sixes off Bishnoi in the 18th over, and Dhoni was given a rousing reception when Moeen holed out attempting a fourth six off the same bowler.
After a single off the first ball, Dhoni faced two inexperienced bowlers in Mohsin and Thakur. He hit Mohsin over the extra-cover boundary for a one-bounce four and then followed it up with the most un-Dhoniesque six you'll ever see, walking across because Mohsin had bowled it wide outside and lapping it over the keeper's head. It was a 14-run over that included three wides.
The fans - almost all yellow - were having the time of their lives. And when Dhoni came to bat in the final over, he smashed a six over the cow corner. Thakur tried wide yorkers that resulted in two more fours off the last three balls and Dhoni finished with 28 off just nine balls, helping CSK to 63 in the last four overs. It was fun, but not nearly enough.
