The see-saw recreation kept the fanatics enthralled because the winner-takes-all contest went to the twine and was made up our minds in the closing ball of the match.
Initially, it was CSK which had en edge but Mumbai Indians got here again in heart overs. Again it was Shane Watson who perceived to have tilted it in CSK's favour but unbelievable tempo bowling via Jasprit Bumrah and Lasith Malinga finally swung it in Mumbai's favour.
"Today was one game we should've done slightly better. It was quite a funny game, we were passing the trophy to each other. Both committed mistakes, and eventually the winning team was the one that committed one mistake less," mentioned Dhoni after CSK fell short via just one run, chasing 150.
Dhoni has led the CSK to 8 finals but he was some distance from a contended skipper.
"As a team we had a good season. But we need to go back and reflect. Wasn't one of those years where we played very good cricket. Middle order never clicked, but somehow we managed," he mentioned.
"Our bowlers did really well. It was not a 150 wicket, but the bowlers kept us in the hunt. They kept getting wickets when it was really needed. Batting, someone kept chipping in and we kept winning. To be consistent next year, we will have to really think hard," he added.
The charismatic Dhoni mentioned the focal point will now shift to World Cup in England.
"It's too early to say right now (about next year's plans). Up next is the World Cup. That's the first priority. After that, we will chat about CSK. Nothing against the bowlers, but the batsmen could've done better. Hopefully yes, we'll see you next year," he mentioned.
