Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simons has no doubts whatsoever that former India and CSK captain MS Dhoni’s four-ball unbeaten 20 in the final over against Mumbai Indians, affected the hosts psychologically on Sunday. The knock boosted Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team to 206-4 at the Wankhede Stadium.

“The psychological pressure that you put on the opposition when you go into the break is such an important thing. You go to the change room after an over like that and it gives you massive momentum. They were looking to restrict us under 200 and suddenly they were facing 206 with an over like that. Dhoni continues to amaze us,” Simons said during the post-match press conference on Sunday.
