Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans had a roller coaster ride at the Wankhede Stadium as they witnessed Dwayne Bravo’s magical innings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 opener. CSK returned to the fold after 2 long years and Bravo ensured the match to be a magical one with his heroics. As a result, CSK won the match by one wicket with just one ball to spare and the celebrations were unreal.

CSK fans, on their way home in Mumbai’s local train, did not let Mumbai Indians (MI) bowlers off the hook easily as they chanted ‘Bravo-Bravo’, rubbing salt on MI fans’ wounds.

Here’s the video that has gone viral on the internet —

Bravo came in to bat when CSK had lost 5 wickets in the 12th over. Ravindra Jadeja’s wicket created pressure on CSK as the required run rate was mounting and had started to seem out of reach. Bravo took on MI bowlers and scored 68 runs off 30 balls at a strike rate of 226.67, including 3 fours and 7 sixes.

His bowling figures at the end of the innings were impressive as he gave just 25 runs from 4 overs at an economy rate of 6.25. The 34-year-old rated his innings as the best he ever played.
