The encounter which was filled with high-end drama, especially in the last over bowled by Ben Stokes, saw a hilarious six from Ravindra Jadeja, a perfect dismissal of finisher MS Dhoni, an umpiring howler which turned into a controversy with Chennai skipper stepping onto the field.  

A no and a wide ball at the nail-biting moments and finally an unexpected last-ball six that had cost Rajasthan the game. 

However, there was one more incident that went unnoticed.

It happened when Jadeja fell on the ground despite managing to pull the shot off for a six. 

Stunned and happy to see the all-rounder hit such a shot, Dhoni walked up to him and hit Jadeja on the head with his bat, obviously in a playful manner.

Jadeja, who was lying on the ground, tried to protect himself and later got up to share a fist bump with Dhoni.

Not only Dhoni, but Chennai and Rajasthan fans were also in a state of shock seeing Jadeja hit such a six. 

In the game, Dhoni starred with the bat and got man of the match award for his crucial 43-ball-58. He played at a strike rate of over 134 and had hit two boundaries and three sixes.

By virtue of this win, Chennai recorded their sixth win in seven games, sitting at the top of the points table with 12 points.
