Finishing an innings is a big skill that is very difficult to master. Finishing an innings impacts the result in a huge way as it can shift the momentum of the game.

We have seen a number of matches where the 20th over of an innings makes all the difference. Looking at players who have excelled at the 20th over in the IPL, MS Dhoni has scored the most number of runs and is a specialist for sure.

Top 5 scorers in the 20th over in IPL
In the final over,
Dhoni has scored 554 runs at a strike rate of 244 including 46 sixes,
Pollard is the second in the list with 272 runs at a strike rate of 210.83 with 21 sixes,
Rohit Sharma has scored 248 runs at a strike rate of 281.67 with 21 sixes,
Bravo has scored 186 runs at a strike rate of 208.83 with 14 sixes,
Harbhajan has scored 185 runs at a strike rate of 172.83 with 15 sixes.

It is interesting to note that 3 out of the top 5 are CSK players. It is also surprising to see Harbhajan feature in this list but this really is the reason for CSK phenomenal success at the death overs.
