Five-time champions Mumbai Indians need to stop committing little errors and develop instincts to finish off close games, said the team’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene after MI’s heart-stopping last-ball, three-wicket loss to defending IPL champions Chennai Super Kings on Thursday at the DY Patil Stadium. MI fought tooth and nail in defending the small total of 155-7, but were beaten to the tape by the well-known and oft-witnessed finishing prowess of former India and CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. 

The Super Kings needed 17 in the last over and 16 in the last four balls when Dhoni, who made 28 not out off 13 balls with three fours and a six, got the strike from Dwayne Bravo. The wicketkeeper-batter kept his cool as only he can and smacked left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat for a straight field six, followed by a four, two runs and then the winning boundary off the last ball to close out the game in thrilling fashion.
