3 Sixes, 4 Fours; 37 Runs in 16 Balls:
MS Dhoni’s Fiery Cameo
When Dhoni entered the batting position,
CSK was down 120/6 after 16.1 overs.
He quickly put the spectators into a
frenzy by scoring 37 runs off of just 16
deliveries. Dhoni hammered the opening
delivery of Anrich Nortje for a boundary
past extra cover as CSK needed 41 runs
from the final over. The CSK legend kept
punishing Nortje for not getting his line
and length correct. A full toss was used
to hit a one-handed six over mid-wicket
on the second
2. ball. The Proteas pacer's day didn't get
any better when he bowled a full toss on
the fourth ball, which raced for a four.
Pulling a delivery from Mukesh Kumar to
the ropes, Dhoni opened his innings with
a boundary and a standing ovation from
the fans. Despite the loss, former CSK
captain Dhoni's thrilling 37-run innings
off just 16 deliveries toward the
conclusion of the chase enthralled
spectators at the stadium and around the
country.
MS Dhoni sets stadium on fire
In the Indian Premier League game on
Sunday, Mahendra Singh Dhoni stunned
the Delhi Capitals with a stunning knock
that turned back the years. When MS
Dhoni stepped into the middle with the
bat in his hand, the supporters in
Visakhapatnam went crazy, making it a
vintage Dhoni display. The atmosphere
was bizarre, and Dhoni made sure the
supporters had a special experience
before they left. He was able to bat for
the first time this season, and he did not
let everyone down.
But, Rishabh Pant's Delhi held onto their
first victory of the season with a 20-run
victory, and Dhoni ensured that the fans
saw his classic side with his final-ball
3. maximum. His cameo was insufficient to
save CSK from defeat. It was another full
throw, and Dhoni concluded his knock
with a strike rate of 21.25, smashing it
over extra cover for a maximum.

run effort. Finally, with a strike rate of
231.25, the five-time IPL champion and
former captain of CSK blasted 37 off just
16 balls, including four fours and three
sixes. As a wicketkeeper-batsman in 380
Twenty20 matches, Dhoni has
accumulated 7,036 runs at an
outstanding 38.06 runs per innings,
including 28 fifties.
"Mahi Abhi Bhi Maar Raha Hai," ex-
Indian batter and well-known cricket
pundit Aakash Chopra stated on X.
Other former cricketers who praised the
Jharkhand-born wicketkeeper included
Michael Hussey, Suresh Raina, and
Mohammad Kaif. "Inspiration knows no
age! Witnessing @msdhoni Mahi Bhai’s
incredible batting prowess at 42 is a
testament to his unparalleled spirit and
dedication," Suresh Raina said in a post
on X.
4. MS Dhoni's Last-Over Fireworks
Speaking about the match, DC beat CSK
by 20 runs to win their maiden IPL 2024
match and deal the reigning champions
their first defeat of the competition.
Pacers Khaleel Ahmed (2/21) and
Mukesh Kumar (3/21) unsettled CSK,
who were chasing a 192-run mark, and
they ended up at 171 for six.
Daryl Mitchell (34, 26b), MS Dhoni (37
not out, 16b), and Ajinkya Rahane (45,
30b) gave it their all, but DC's bowlers
were spot on this evening.
Earlier, Delhi Capitals reached 191 for
five thanks to solid fifties from captain
Rishabh Pant and seasoned opener
David Warner.
Prithvi Shaw (43, 27 balls), the opener,
provided solid assistance for Warner (52,
35 balls) and Pant (51, 32 balls).
Pant scored his first fifty goals in this
IPL. For CSK, bowler Matheesha
Pathirana (3/31) was the most
productive.
