MS Dhoni can be towering: MI captain Rohit Sharma doffs his hat to CSK legend

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma could only admire MS Dhoni's finishing abilities after the CSK legend played a late blitz on Thursday to hand MI their seventh straight defeat.

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma doffed his hat to MS Dhoni who rolled back the years with the onslaught at the end to help Chennai Super Kings seal a thrilling 3-wicket win over MI on Thursday.

Rohit Sharma rued his side's top-order woes in the ongoing IPL but could only admire veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his match-winning knock.

MI slumped to their seventh loss in this IPL with Dhoni showing his finishing prowess with a 13-ball 28 not out to guide Chennai Super Kings to a three-wicket win in a last-ball finish.

''It was a great fight from us. We were right in the game. After batting not so well, our bowlers kept us in the game all through. But in the end, we all know how calming MS Dhoni can be and he took them home,'' Rohit said at the post-match presentation.

''It's hard to put a finger on that (top order problems). If you lose three or a couple of wickets up front, it's always going to be tough. You're always playing that catching (up) game.''

After a disastrous start, Tilak Varma's 51 not out helped MI to reach a decent total of 155 for 7, but in the end it turned out to be not enough as CSK chased down the target of 156 in the final ball.
