Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming defended captain MS Dhoni’s move to have fielders near the boundary line when Mumbai Indians (MI) needed just two runs to win before the last ball of the game.  

In a thrilling IPL encounter on Saturday, MI’s Kieron Pollard (unbeaten 87 in 34 balls, 6x4, 8x6) just managed to push that outside- the-off-stump yorker bowled by pacer Lungi Ngidi (0-62), but when long-on fielder Faf Du Plessis came and threw it, Pollard had enough time to secure those important two runs and seal the match by four wickets in Delhi.
