Deepak Chahar was taken aback by the CSK captain’s antics.
With the bat, Dhoni has scored 76 runs from seven innings at a remarkable strike rate of 200. He has faced only 38 balls while batting in the lower order, hitting 8 sixes and 2 fours.
Dhoni has also led CSK exceptionally well as the team is placed second on the points table with 6 wins from 11 matches.
Moreover, Dhoni seems to be enjoying his time out there in the middle and a glimpse of the same was witnessed on Wednesday (May 10).
Just after the toss at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for CSK’s clash against Delhi Capitals, Dhoni nearly slapped his teammate Deepak Chahar.
It was a hilarious gesture from Dhoni to slap Chahar, who was taken aback by the CSK captain’s antics.
Here’s the video:
Coming to the toss, CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the flip of the coin and opted to bat first.
“We will bat first. We have played a few games on this wicket. There are chances of this wicket slowing down. We can't complain about this track. We try to keep it simple. We try to keep reiterating the same thing. Try to accomplish your plan. Try to execute your plans. We have one change. Rayudu comes in for Dube,” Dhoni said at the toss.
