MS Dhoni is arguably the greatest finisher the world has ever seen and though he is past his prime, the man is still making things happen in tense run-chases at the age of 43. In the game against LSG, he once again turned back the clock with 26 off just 11 balls, and took CSK over the line, giving them a much-needed win in the season.

The knock earned him his 18th Player of the Match award in IPL which helped him equal Virat Kohli and David Warner's record. The award also made him the oldest player to win the Player Of The Match Award in IPL and he surpassed Pravin Tambe who won the player of the match award at the age of 43 years and 60 days. Tambe won that award while playing for RR against KKR in the 2014 IPL.

Third in the list is now Shane Warne, who won the award at the age of 41 years and 223 days. The fourth is another Australian, Adam Gilchrist, who won the award at 41 years and 181 days while Chris Gayle won the award at the age of 41 years and 35 days.
