At the maximum, Livingston had scored 60 runs. Following this, the Chennai Super Kings stumbled towards the target, losing five wickets for 36 runs. For Chennai, Shivam Dube was the only batsman to score an unbeaten 57 as all the other batsmen did not score much.

Criticism of CSK

Chennai lost all their wickets at the end of 18 overs and were all out for 126 runs. Subsequently, the Punjab team won by 54 runs and improved on the points table. Last time, CSK won the IPL trophy, but this time it stumbled with a series of defeats, which caused a lot of criticism among the fans.

Fans admiring Dhoni

The dilemma is whether they can qualify for the play-offs only if they win the upcoming series. Now, one of the actions by Dhoni during the match against Punjab team is getting a lot of appreciations amongst the fans.

MSD in doubt

While the Punjab team was batting in the 8th over, Pretorius threw the ball which bounced off Livingston's bat and went into the hands of keeper Dhoni. However, as the ball seemed to have falled on the ground just before Dhoni caught it, he immediately called for the third-umpire to review it.

Upon constant inspection, it was determined that the ball had landed on the ground before it was caught by Dhoni. Despite being an opponent, the incident where Dhoni asked the umpire to consider it immediately as there was suspicion in his catch is now going highly viral.

Many fans have been praising Dhoni's honest character on social media.
