Rajasthan achieved the target of 151 runs for victory with two balls to spare.
Moeen Ali, who completed his fifty in 19 balls for Chennai, scored 93 runs in an innings of 57 balls.
Dhoni said at the award ceremony after the match, “The team had to bear the brunt of losing wickets early in the middle overs. After this Moin had to bat slow. Our batsmen scored 10-15 runs short. ,
Despite the team’s dismal campaign in the season, Dhoni expressed happiness that the young players of the team have improved their performance significantly.
“Many of our players have improved a lot. Mukesh (Chowdhary) was quite different in the last match as compared to his first. The players we experimented with have learned a lot. Our Malinga (Pathirana) has also bowled well. He will do well next year.”
Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson credited the team’s bowlers for their return in the match.
Samson said, “Initially the way Moeen Ali was playing, it seemed that a big score was going to be made. However, after that our bowlers came back very well. The way Ashwin batted today was amazing.
Ashwin, who was adjudged man of the match for his all-rounder game (1 wicket and 40 not out), said, “It’s been a great day for us. We have finished the league stage on a positive note. I did a lot of batting practice in the nets. I can’t play big shots with strength, so I keep looking for new ways to score runs. ,
