IPL 2018: Du Plessis Takes CSK to 7th Final From Brink of Defeat PHOTO CREDITS: BCCI South African skipper Faf du Plessis pulled off a 'Houdini Act' to guide Chennai Super Kings to their seventh Indian Premier League final with a two-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2018 Qualifier 1 in Mumbai on Tuesday. Chasing a modest target of 140, CSK were down in dumps at 92 for 7 before Du Plessis (67 off 42 balls) engineered a stunning comeback and fittingly finished the match with a straight six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar . With 43 needing off last three overs , Du Plessis, who opened the batting, launched into Carlos Brathwaite's 18th over smashing him for 20 runs which included two sixes and two fours .
