Dhoni eyes Chennai clean-out after losing IPL final

HYDERABAD: Chennai Super Kings skipper M.S. Dhoni suggested his ageing side needs a shake-up after they lost a nail-biting Indian Premier League final to arch-rivals Mumbai Indians.

The thriller saw Mumbai edge out Chennai on Sunday after Australian Shane Watson was run out going for an unlikely second run in the final over to end a blistering 59-ball innings at 80.

Chennai then needed two runs off the last ball to overtake Mumbai’s 149 -8. But Sri Lanka paceman Lasith Malinga trapped Shardul Thakur lbw to claim a record fourth title for Mumbai.
