MS Dhoni nearly won the match for CSK with a magnificent 84 not out off 48 balls on Sunday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli said that MS Dhoni gave him and his team a massive scare during their match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday in the Indian Premier League.
RCB beat CSK by one run in another IPL humdinger that was alive till the last ball.
"A whole lot of emotions," said Kohli when asked about what he was going through after yet another last-ball thriller. "We were outstanding with the ball until the 19th over mark. On the last ball, that (run-out) was the last thing I would have expected to happen. Feels good to win a game by a small margin."
"MS did what he does best and he gave us all a massive scare," said Kohli at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Dhoni, who nearly won the match for CSK with a magnificent 84 not out off 48 balls, felt that they missed a few boundaries earlier on which cost them dearly.
"A lot of boundaries were needed, right now you can calculate, one run there, and two runs there and we just lost by one run. But you can also say we missed some boundaries," Dhoni said.

Chasing a target of 162, CSK were 32 for four after six overs once. Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu then formed a crucial 55 run partnership before Rayudu (29) became a victim of Yuzvendra Chahal.
Ravindra Jadeja then lost his wicket as a result of lack of coordination with Dhoni. Dwayne Bravo joined Dhoni and stitched a 25-run partnership.
CSK needed a near-impossible 26 off the last over bowled by Umesh Yadav. However, Dhoni collected 24 off the first five balls with three sixes and a four.
With two needed off the last ball, Umesh bowled a slower delivery and Dhomi missed it. They went for a run to level the score but Parthiv Patel effected a run-out as non-striker Shardul Thakur remained inches out of his crease.
RCB will now host Kings XI Punjab on April 24 while CSK will host Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 23.
