Chennai Super Kings may not be in this year’s IPL playoffs, but last night they reminded everyone why they’re one of the most loved and respected franchises in the league. In what could be the final IPL game for MS Dhoni, CSK gave fans a night to remember — an emotional send-off, a thrilling performance, and a victory soaked in passion, pride, and legacy.
📝 Match Summary
After winning the toss, CSK opted to bat — and boy, did they deliver!
💥 Dewald Brevis played an explosive knock, smashing 57 off 29 balls, showing why he’s seen as one of the future stars.
🧠 Devon Conway, calm and composed as ever, anchored the innings with a crucial 52 off 37 balls.
Late fireworks from Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja powered CSK to a massive 230/5 — their highest total this season.
