Punjab yet again buried CSK under a mountain of runs, scoring a mammoth 226 for six. It is third time that Punjab scored more than 200 runs against CSK
"I had the belief in my bowling that they will let them score more than 200 runs. But we need to give them (Punjab) credit, they batted well," Dhoni said.
Dhoni said they surely had a chance to win after Suresh Raina came up with a stunning knock of 87.
"One of the facts is one of our retained players, Dwayne Bravo we lost at the start itself, but we still made the playoffs, we did really well in the tournament," he added.
Virender Sehwag, who tormented the CSK bowlers and set up the win of his side with a 58-ball 122 said Sachin Tendukar advised him to spend more time at the crease.
"I was hitting the ball well throughout. I had a chat with master also, Sachin Tendulkar. He said your hands are going well just a matter of one innings, just stay there and put the conscious effort to stay till the 10-12th over, everything will be alright," Sehwag said.
