<p>"I think at 30/4, you want to get something respectable on the board and Ruturaj and Bravo got us more than what we expected. We had to bat exceptionally to get to 140, but to get to 160 was tremendous, said Dhoni during the post-match presentation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For his stunning performance, Gaikwad won the Man of the Match award and said it was one of his "top innings till now". He added, "With the pressure of early wickets and with the seniors in the dressing room, I just had to grind and get the team to 130, 140 and then 150 was possible. When Mahi&nbsp;<em>bhai</em>&nbsp;is around and with the CSK management, once they back you, you don't have to think much."</p>

IPL 2021, Chennai Super Kings - Team Preview: Will Dhoni and co. become a formidable side once again?

<p>Everyone who has had the pleasure of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's company have their own little treasure trove of stories and the latest to join that ever-growing list is Chennai Super Kings' emerging star Ruturaj Gaikwad.</p>

<p>Gaikwad was the only silver lining in an otherwise disastrous CSK campaign as he finished with three back-to-back half-centuries, albeit in inconsequential games. Gaikwad recollected how he was moved by former India captain's warmth during their first meeting in 2016 during his first-class debut.</p>

<p>"October 2016, I met him for the first time fractured my finger during my debut Ranji game, He was the mentor of Jharkhand. And he himself came and asked me about how I am," Gaikwad wrote on Instagram.</p>

<p>Cut to 2020, the 23-year-old had a string of low scores in his initial IPL matches but once again it was the skipper, who came up to him and gave him some advice which will stay with him for lifetime.</p>

<p>"October 2020..3 low scores, he himself came up and talked about life!! Fortunate to be able to share the dressing room with him. And more than a dream to share the 22 yards with him and Finishing things off," Gaikwad added.</p>

IPL 2020: 'More than a dream' - CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad posts heartfelt tribute for MS Dhoni

<p>Chennai Super Kings stunned Royal Challengers Bangalore after beating them by 8 wickets 44th match of IPL 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.</p>

<p>Royal Challengers won the toss and chose to bat. Bangalore was off to a poor start as they lost both openers within seven overs. However, the 82-run partnership between skipper Kohli and de Villiers stabilised RCB innings. Virat Kohli scored the most runs (50 runs off 43 balls) for the team. Sam Curran was the most lethal bowler for CSK as he scalped three wickets and conceded just 19 runs. CSK bowlers managed to restrict RCB to 145 runs by the end of innings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, were off to a promising start as the opening pair put up a 46-run partnership. The 67-run stand between Gaikwad and Rayudu landed a fatal blow to RCB. Gaikwad became the fourth-youngest player to smash a half-century in IPL history. He scored 65 runs off 51 balls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite this win, Chennai's chances to make it into playoffs are very grim, but still, they spoiled RCB's chances to finish on top 2 of the points table.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Royal Challengers has had a bad run when they don the green jersey. Out of the 10 matches played in this colour, RCB has lost 7 times and have won just twice (one match with no result).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ruturaj Gaikwad was adjudged the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock.&nbsp;</p>
