The real MS Dhoni finally joined the party, a bit too late for Pune's liking though, and showed exactly what he is still capable off as he scored a six off the last ball to condemn Punjab to the bottom of the table. Twitter exploded to Dhoni's brilliance and here are the best of the tweets.
This was perhaps one of the most inconsequential match in IPL's history.
While the top six battle for the play offs, these two fight it out for the lay offs.

We have a feeling that Miller will be jobless for a long time now...
David Miller finishes with 161 runs at an average of 16. His worst ever return.

Vijay has stepped up since gaining the captaincy, but he has not received any support from his teammates.
4th 50+ score for Vijay as captain in this IPL - most by a KXIP captain in a single season. Gilchrist made 3 in 2011 season.

Adam Zampa finishes his spell with 1-32. 12 wickets for the season, league-best average of 9.58

Speaking of debut season...it has not been a memorable one for Behardien...
Farhaan Behardien is a specialist finisher who is not good at finishing.

Tiwary just could not get going today, much like Dhoni this season.
Required run-rate in above 12 and a lad from Jharkhand is playing a Test match sort of innings. I have seen this before

Pune have left themselves with too much to do, in too many games..
Who are we?
— cricBC (@cricBC)
Rising Super Fucking Giants
What we want?
Chase targets
How we do it?
Keeping hitters in dugout and leaving it for too late.
Literally, as a dog interrupted the last ball of the match..
is going to the dogs.

Thala, finally, did what we know he is capable off..
The finisher ain't finished.

True that!
"If 15 runs are needed off the last 6 balls, the pressure is on the bowler and not on MS Dhoni."

Make it 23!
How I wonder!
— Sagarcasm (@sagarcasm)
I doubt it!
Has there even been a more thrilling finish to a more pointless game?

Although Axar had a good spell, giving the ball to him in the last over was a strange decision indeed.
Getting Axar to bowl that last over worst bit of leadership since the captain of the Titanic ignored the iceberg warnings and sped up
