The crowd deserved every bit of the action: Dhoni

CSK has made a comeback in the cash-rich league after serving twoyear suspension for spot-fixing. In the first match at its home on Tuesday, CSK’s Sam Billings’ 23-ball 56 run cameo overshadowed KKR’s Andre Russell’s blistering 36-ball 88 as the host won its second game by five wickets.
Speaking after the match, Dhoni said: “It feels good to come back after two years and win the first game. I think it was a fantastic game. The crowd deserved every bit of it; the first innings and the second innings. Everyone has their emotions and we tell everybody to keep it under control. We need to have the faith in the batsman who is batting or the bowler who is bowling. At the end of the day, there is one man to bat that particular delivery and one bowler to bowl that particular over.”
