It's very good that he is still hungry: Jadeja on Dhoni's latest Houdini act

MS Dhoni "is still hungry" and Chennai Super Kings stay afloat in IPL 15 after the legend's latest Houdini act at the death. And they are all that matter to skipper Ravindra Jadeja. Five defeats from seven outings became a thing of the past after Dhoni turned back the clock to script a memorable three-wicket victory for CSK against Mumbai Indians in the IPL here on Thursday, following a heart-stopping finish that saw him hit a four off the last ball of the game.

Chasing 156 for victory, CSK needed 17 off the final over bowled by Jaydev Unadkat. The left-arm-seamer from Saurashtra had bowled a good spell to complement Daniel Sams who was outstanding with 4 for 30. But he had in front of him Dhoni, who has a strike rate of over 200 against him.

"It's very good that he is still hungry (for runs and wins)," the new CSK skipper said after Dhoni's 13-ball 28 propelled the team to an epic win over their arch-rivals. "His touch is still there. And looking at it, all of us remain calm, that if he is in the middle and stays till the final over, he will win the game," added Jadeja. "We were tense but had a belief that he (Dhoni) was out there, he would finish the game and come. He has won so many games for India, in the IPL, we knew that he would finish the game."
