Who say about Bravo is death over specialist,,,,,,
Fiddy Bravo & Dhoni out him from playing XI before qualifier round #CSK— Md.Shoeb (@MdShoeb61066885) May 18, 2018
Even a spinner , Karn Sharma or Tahir wouldn’t have given 4 sixes in the last over and would have picked a wicket..come on Dhoni we have enough batting, bring Willey or Tahir for bravo.. #DDvCSK

Last 4 overs, 53 Runs !
Dhoni needs to have a talk with Bravo.
Surely it has to be Ngidi & Bravo. Thakur’s overs have to be hidden somewhere between 7-16 since Watson is playing as a Pure Batsman since few games.#DDvCSK— Chandler Bing (@SarcasmChamp) May 18, 2018
Bravo did it in last over which Basil Thampi has done for all 4 overs yesterday!#DDvCSK

Harshal Patel is actually becoming a big hitter. He has smashed quite a few sixes #DDvCSK #IPL

@cricbuzz isn’t it dhoni depending too much on bravo at death overs or last over? could have bowled ngidi or chahar their last over. Just a thought #DDvCSK

Dhoni should have given last over to ngidi#DDvCSK #AakashVani

Dwayne Bravo averaging 47 with the ball this season. His worst since 2010, when he averaged 50 plus.#IPL2018 #DDvCSK

MS DHONI should have gone to Ngidi for that last over. He was brilliant tonight.
Bravo was not at his best. 26 of the last over gave DD some chance of a fight back— Subhadeep Mukherjee (@iamAbir1212) May 18, 2018
Rahul Gayle Watson and now Harshal Patel.. Ex RCB players are doing wonders this season.. Something is really wrong with #RCB team 😛 #DDvCSK

#DDvCSK Very poor performance of #Bravo. In #IPL 2018 performed very poor. #MSDhoni Is he deserve for next match of #csk.

Dhoni and his bowling choices are most times bewildering.
Didn’t question when it all started with Joginder Sharma.
And now I don’t understand why Bravo bowled the last one instead of Deepak or Ngidi. Can’t get to question now. #DDvCSK— Krishna Chaitanya (@KCdaVinci) May 18, 2018

If @ChennaiIPL loose today , the sole responsible person for the loss is @DJBravo47 . #DDvCSK
