Chennai Super Kings pulled off a last-ball thriller to defeat Rajasthan Royals by four wickets at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday.

With the win, MS Dhoni has added another feather to his illustrious career, becoming the first captain to register 100 wins from 166 matches in the IPL

Chasing a target of 152, Dhawal Kulkarni dismissed Shane Watson for a duck in the very first over to ensure a quality start.

In the next over, a direct-hit at the non-striker`s end by Jofra Archer resulted in run-machine Suresh Raina (4) walking back.

Ambati Rayudu witnessed the dismissal of Faf du Plessis (7) and Kedar Jadhav (1) in quick succession before finding support in captain MS Dhoni, with whom he built a 95-run stand to inch closer towards victory.

However, Rajasthan tilted the momentum when Ben Stokes dismissed Rayudu (57), who tried to swat the ball with Shreyas Gopal holding on to the ball at square leg.

With eight required off four balls, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle almost took Chennai home but Stokes nailed the perfect yorker at the right time dismissing Dhoni for 58.

Just when Rajasthan thought they would seal the match, Stokes bowled a no-ball to Mitchell Santner, bringing in an angry Dhoni to argue with the umpires, who revoked it.

With three required off the last ball, Santner finished off the game in style, smashing a six off Stokes.

MS Dhoni Fined For Storming Onto Field to Confront Umpires

Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni stormed onto the field in rather controversial circumstances during the IPL 2019 game against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday.

Later on, Dhoni was charged for breaching IPL's code of conduct and he admitted to the level 2 offence. He was fined 50% of his match-fees for the incident.
CSK needed 18 runs from the final over but Dhoni was dismissed on the third ball of the over by Ben Stokes.

The fourth delivery of the over bowled to Santner was first called a no-ball by umpire Ulhas Gandhe but the decision was changed after consulting square-leg umpire Bruce Oxenford.

At this point Dhoni - who was in the dugout - stormed into the field and confronted both the umpires, asking them for the reason to reverse the decision. Quite a few Rajasthan players also got involved in what was a heated discussion.

Ultimately, the delivery was deemed legal but replays suggested it was a waist high no-ball.

In the end, Santner smashed a six off the last ball to help his side to victory.
