Sehwag, Ranveer Singh, Hayden Celebrate CSK’s IPL Title on Twitter

The Super Kings, back to IPL after facing a two-year ban, were on song, getting to the total with 9 balls to spare.

Chennai Super Kings staged a glorious comeback to the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday, 27 May, winning their third title by eight wickets. Chasing a total of 178 runs, all-rounder Shane Watson single-handedly guided the Super Kings home with a blistering 117 runs off 57 balls.

The Australian smashed 11 fours and 8 sixes en route to his second hundred of the season as CSK raced home in 18.3 overs. SRH had posted a challenging 178 for six courtesy Kane Willamson (47 off 36) and Yusuf Pathan (45* off 25).

Here's how Twitter reacted to a Super Kings' comeback and title victory.

Can’t see any other captain pulling off a title win like this with the limitations CSK had. It had to be Dhoni to do it.#VIVOIPL2018 #CSK
