[Saba Sports News] Chennai Super Kings experienced their first defeat of IPL 2024 against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. Despite the challenging 191-run target set by DC, CSK’s batting lineup struggled against DC’s strategic bowling mix.
However, even in the face of impending defeat, MS Dhoni showcased his prowess with a series of big hits, reminiscent of his glory days. Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi Singh, took to Instagram to share a picture of him receiving the Electric Striker of The Match award and humorously noted how Dhoni’s innings overshadowed the game’s outcome.
“First of all, welcome back Rishabh Pant! Hi there Mahi! Didn’t realize we lost the game,” she posted on Instagram.
In his brief innings, Dhoni scored 37 runs off 17 balls, including four boundaries and three sixes. Interestingly, he had previously scored a crucial half-century against the same opponent in 2018, leading CSK to victory in that year’s tournament. This season marks a significant transition for CSK as Dhoni has stepped aside from captaincy, passing the baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Dhoni, known for his calm demeanor on the field, has praised Gaikwad’s similar approach to leadership, highlighting the continuity amidst the change in leadership.
