Dharmasala: Mahendra Singh Dhoni's two towering sixes in the last over earned a thrilling six-wicket victory for Chennai Super Kings over Kings XI Punjab and a semi-final spot in the Indian Premier League.
Super Kings needed 16 off the last over from Irfan Pathan to chase down 193 runs and Dhoni (54 not out off 29 balls) took his team home with two balls to spare.
Pathan was at the receiving end of Dhoni's brute power. Dhoni struck the first ball for four, mistimed and skied the second but Piyush Chawla fell short to lap the ball that gave him two runs, and then cleared the long on off succesive balls.
