Apart from Dhoni's heroic cameo of 28 runs off 9 balls. Ravindra Jadeja's fifty (57 not out off 40 balls) and knocks from Ajinkya Rahane (36 off 24 balls) and Moeen Ali (30 off 20 balls) also contributed well and helped their team reach a fighting total of 176 runs.

Lucknow Super Giants now need 177 runs to win but it will be a difficult task in front of the in-form bowling line-up of Chennai Super Kings.
