IPL 2018: Chennai Super Kings enters finals for the seventh time; MS Dhoni credits the win to this player

Skipper MS Dhoni-led team Chennai Super Kings entered into the final for the seventh time after defeating Kane Williamson's Sunrisers Hyderabad. The hero of the match was Faf Du Plessis who played the hard-hitting knock of 67 runs. This is to notice that CSK retained Faf Du Plessis in the team by using the Right to play card. He didn't play many matches in this season but his important innings came in the important match.

The South Africa cricketer took the match in his hand after the strong batting line-up of CSK failed in front of Sun Risers Hyderabad's strong bowling line up. After the match, skipper MS Dhoni praised Du Plessis and said, 'Faf's innings proves that experience works, it is not easy when you didn't play many matches in the tournament. I have always said that players should work on the mindset with playing skills also. This is the same when the experience works and how you can contribute to the team, this is what Faf proved.'
