( CNN ) -- MS Dhoni continued his winning streak after guiding the Chennai Super Kings to a nail biting victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening clash of the Indian Premier League . The seven week 20-over tournament offers yet more action for the cricket-loving Indian public after Dhoni led them to a World Cup triumph on home soil less than a week ago . And he masterminded an opening win in Chennai as Kolkata failed to record the four runs they need off the final delivery of the match to lose by two runs . Batting first , Chennai made 153-4 off their 20 overs . Srikkanth Anirudha got them off to a fast start as he smashed 64 off just 55 deliveries . Indian pair Suresh Raini and Dhoni then added valuable runs at the end of the innings , finishing with 33 and 29 respectively , as the Super Kings posted a challenging total . An opening stand of 64 between Manvinder Bisla and South African Jacques Kallis looked to have put Kolkata in the driving seat but when Kallis went for 54 their innings faltered . English batsman Eoin Morgan was stumped for just six runs but Manoj Tiwary got Kolkata back on track with a quick fire 27 runs , including two sixes , before he was stumped by Dhoni off the bowling of Randiv . The Knight Riders needed nine runs from the final over but lost Laxmi Shukla off the second ball . Rajat Bhatia was charged with hitting a boundary off the final ball to win but Kolkata could only manage a leg bye . After the game Dhoni told reporters : `` It was a first game with a new team , and when you get a new car you want to break it in , but you do n't want to break it . Even if we did not win this game , we would have got a lot out of it . '' Meanwhile , the 147-year-old Wisden Almanack -- known as the cricketers ' bible -- has strengthened its social media presence by joining Facebook . The historic publication joined Twitter in December posting : `` A humble 147-year-old takes its first tentative steps into the blogosphere . Any older Twitterers out there ? '' Their new editor , Lawrence Booth has been tasked with developing their digital presence , and Wisden has already chalked up a quintuple century -- in Facebook 'likes ' .
