CSK continued to play party spoilers to play off contenders as Dhoni and Co. beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 6 wickets in an IPL encounter played out at Dubai on Thursday (Oct 29). While promising young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad laid down a strong platform for CSK's 173-run chase, Ravindra Jadeja provided the finishing act with a whirlwind 11-ball 30 run knock to take the 3-time champions across the victory  line. With 30 runs required off the last 12 delivers, Jadeja and Sam Curran did not panic and hit Kiwi paceman Lockie Ferguson and Kamesh Nagarkoti for a flurry of boundaries to help CSK seal a win in the very last over. Jadeja finished the game in clinical style, hitting the last delivery from Kamlesh Nagarkoti for a massive six.
