Indian cricket fans were treated to a vintage MS Dhoni unbeaten knock of 75 (in 46 balls) as Chennai Super Kings thumped Rajasthan Royals by eight runs at Chepauk during their IPL clash last night.

Rajasthan Royals, who are yet to open their win account, managed 167-8, in response to CSK's 175-5. Deepak Chahar was the pick of the bowlers for CSK with 4-1-19-2. Leggie Imran Tahir claimed the important wickets of Rahul Tripathi (39) and Steven Smith (28) to break RR's resistance after the duo put on a 61-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
