    "editor1": "<p>Mumbai, May 23 - As Chennai Super Kings stormed into the Indian Premier League (IPL) final for the seventh time on Tuesday after a nail-biting two-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni credited the dressing room atmosphere for his team&#39;s success over the years.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the first qualifier of the 2018 season, Chennai pulled off a last-over thriller against the Kane Williamson-led Hyderabad, thanks to an incredible unbeaten 67-run knock by opener Faf du Plessis.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We&#39;ve been a very good team and it reflects when it comes to the IPL. It reflects the dressing room atmosphere we&#39;ve been able to create. It&#39;s not possible without that,&quot; Dhoni said after the match.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Credit goes to management, support staff and players. Even if one of them is lacking you can&#39;t have a good dressing room atmosphere. If the&nbsp;atmosphere is not great, it becomes difficult to perform,&quot; he added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the match which went down the wire, the yellow brigade were once reeling at 92\/7 losing all of their key batsmen however, it was South African du Plessis who held his nerve to single-handedly carve out a win.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn such close games, the Chennai skipper said: &quot;Good to win games like this. But what&#39;s important is to learn out of this game. It&#39;s about constantly improving.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/IPL-2018-The-Rising-Stars-of-India-38386\">IPL 2018: The Rising Stars of India<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This is the best combination that we have got. And right from the first game we&#39;ve used different bowlers in different ways to find out who is the best bowler at the end,&quot; Dhoni said, about constantly reshuffling his team combination.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMeanwhile, admitting that the target was too small, Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson heaped praise on the Chennai lower order.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It was a good game of cricket, but if we are honest with ourselves, we were a few runs short with the bat. It was definitely not a 140 wicket. It was a decent wicket and we would have liked 20 more,&quot; he rued.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Credit to the CSK lower order. They bat a long way down and they kept us under pressure. It is rough being on the other side of close ones, but we have been on the right side a number of times this year. It is important that we learn from this experience,&quot; he added.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
