Imran Tahir who took 4/27 to help Chennai Super Kings (CSK) put Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a spot here, has credited skipper MS Dhoni for his success saying there are things he doesn’t observe but the captain does.
Tahir played a pivotal role in restricting KKR to 161/8 by removing the dangerous Chris Lynn (82; 51 balls; 7×4 6×6) and destructive Andre Russell (10) in the space of four deliveries in the 15th over.
Chasing a modest target, CSK won by five wickets.
Tahir also accounted for wickets of Nitish Rana and Robin Uthappa in the 11th over as CSK consolidated their place at the top of the table.
