If there’s ever a book on cricket, Dhoni must write the finishing chapter. Unbelievable. Take a bow 🙇‍♂️ #RCBvCSK #IPL

Not the result we would have liked, but happy with the first half of the tournament.5 out of 7 we will take it. Have a week’s break now. Congratulations @SunRisers on the victory & a great effort from young Ankit Rajpoot becoming the first Punjab bowler to take a 5-for #SRHvKXIP
