The 55th match of the Indian T20 league 2022 turned out to be a memorable one for Chennai. They beat Delhi by 91 runs. The yellow army simply don't want to get knocked out of the tournament and thus, live to fight another day.

As far as the game is concerned, the Chennai-based franchise got to a massive score of 206 during the first innings, and lost six wickets in the process. Devon Conway scored a sensational 87 off just 49 balls. Chennai's skipper MS Dhoni played a handy cameo towards the end as well. He scored an eight-ball 21, and remained unbeaten. However, that wasn't the only instance during the game where he grabbed everyone's attention.
During the second innings, Dhoni funnily pulled Dwayne Bravo's leg. In the third ball of the 17th over, the keeper-batter was heard calling the all-rounder "old man". After Bravo stopped a single while fielding, Dhoni cheekily said “Well done old man". Even the commentators started to chuckle over the same.
It is to be noted that the 38-year-old has already retired from international cricket. However, he only seems to be getting better with age as he has been superb in the ongoing edition. As a matter of fact, Bravo picked two wickets on Sunday. Besides, he and Dhoni have been playing in the Chennai-based franchise since 2011, and share a great bond.

In the meanwhile, the 40-year-old was pleased with his troops. After the completion of the game, he stated that it was a "perfect game". Further on, he also said that everyone contributed, and it was a good toss to lose.
"It really helps. It would have been better if we would have had a win like this somewhere early. It was a perfect game. The batters did really well. It was a toss where we wanted to win and field first, but in the heart, I was fine to lose the toss. The ball stops and comes, and it behaves only after 13-14 overs. Everybody contributed a bit," said MS Dhoni during the post-match presentation.
