Dhoni gets it right again

When Shaun Marsh smacked the very first ball of the match through the covers, it did seem as if Chennai may have blundered in using the off-spinner against a batsman in such ominous form. Dhoni removed Muralitharan immediately after and what followed 8212; an eight over spell from Ntini and Gony 8212; destroyed Punjab8217;s hopes. By the time Murali came back to bowl again in the 11th over, Kings XI were already six down for 45.

While Murali managed an impressive turn after returning for his second over 8212; and proving Warne right, Gony8217;s remained the most economical spell of the match. Ntini, for his two wickets and a run-out, earned the Man of the Match award.
