Just One Chance

Stars on the Rise

Fleming spotted his former IPL captain but didn't say a word about it to anyone.

Mahi felt extremely proud as he watched his Gudiya talk to her team.

Right after the meeting was dismissed, Siya was looking around when she spotted her brother smiling at her and immediately ran to him shouting, "Bhaiya"

Mahi knew what was coming next, so he just stood firmly in his place, as his little sister ran into his arms.

Siya hugs her brother tightly and says, "I missed you so much."

Mahi pulls away and replies, "You're the one who told me to come only for the finals."

Siya says, "You had your own training camp to get to. I couldn't keep Chennai's Thala away from them for too long now, could I?"

Mahi raises his hands up in surrender and replies, "Alright Gudiya, you win."

Just then Ziva runs in the team room, shouting, "Bui"

Siya immediately gets down and hugs her little niece and says, "Aww princess, I missed you so much."

Ziva teasingly replies, "I missed you too, but I think Papa missed you the most."

Mahi simply rolls his eyes, before moving to greet his wife who had just arrived from Ranchi with their daughter.

Sakshi hugs her little sister after her daughter leaves her and says, "So nice to finally see you Bachha."

Siya smiles and replies, "I'll be with you all summer now so don't worry. I've also missed you all way too much."

Richa then comes forward to meet the Dhoni family, before Siya starts introducing her entire team to her family.

Mahi also has a short chat with the team about how they should consider the final to be just another match and not stress much about the result.

(Imagine a similar speech from Thala for the WPL yellow army)

The girls get ready to give their best performance and gear up, before getting on the bus for the last time in the season.

Siya and Lanning meet in the middle of the ground for the coin toss, which is won by DCW and Lanning choses to bat first.

CSQ gathers up for a team huddle, where the captain simply tells her team to play their natural game without worrying too much.

Siya leads her team onto the field, before all the players start taking their position.

Lanning comes out with Shafali to open the innings for her team, just like they had throughout the tournament.

Chennai manages to send the top four batters of Delhi back in the powerplay itself.

The commentators praise Siya for helping her team dominate from the very first ball of the innings in a format that usually favoured the batting side.

At the end of the first innings, DCW end up setting a very low total for CSQ to chase, but the game was not over yet.

CSQ loses their first opener in the powerplay itself and surprisingly the captain walks in herself at number three.

The chants of 'Dhoni, Dhoni' follow her as she walks out to the middle with purpose.
