Dhoni and winning six is never ending love Story pic.twitter.com/cg8dR8HCKA
The win over SRH was CSK's fourth in a row, and took them to 18 points in 11 games. It has been a stunning turnaround for the Chennai outfit who had for the first time failed to qualify for the playoffs last season.
Dhoni's team is two points clear at the top with Delhi Capitals placed second with 16 points.
On Thursday, Josh Hazlewood and Dwayne Bravo starred with the ball, restricting SRH to 134 for seven in their 20 overs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis once again got CSK off to a fine start, adding 75 runs for the first wicket.
Jason Holder provided a ray of hope to SRH by taking three wickets in quick succession, including the scalps of Ruturaj, du Plessis and Suresh Raina.Â
Ambati Rayudu and Dhoni got together and made sure CSK didn't lose any more wickets. With CSK needing 2 runs off the final 3 balls, Dhoni launched Siddarth Kaul into the stands to finish things off in style, again!
