Indian Premier League, 2009-10

At Kolkata, March 16, 2010. Chennai Super Kings won by 55 runs. ‡Chennai Super Kings 164-3 (20 overs) (M. Vijay 33, S. Badrinath 43*, M. S. Dhoni 66*); Kolkata Knight Riders 109 (19.2 overs) (J. M. Kemp 3-12). MoM: M. S. Dhoni.

Kolkata's victory run was broken as none of their batsmen showed the patience, the nerve, the ability to stitch a partnership… all characteristics of Dhoni's cleverly crafted 33-ball innings, which had lifted Chennai from a desperate 59-3 at halfway.
