MS Dhoni gave the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai their ticket’s worth as his fireworks with the bat helped CSK post an imposing total at the Wankhede Stadium in their recent IPL 2024 match on Sunday.
CSK was asked to bat first by MI captain Hardik Pandya, who won the toss. Ruturaj Gaikwad with 69 and Shivam Dube with 66* starred with the bat, while MS Dhoni gave the fans their tickets’ worth as he slammed 20* in 4 balls. This included hitting Pandya for three consecutive sixes in the 20th over of CSK innings. CSK posted 206/4 in 20 overs.
Rohit Sharma made a 105*in reply but got little support from other batters. Tilak Varma with 31 and Ishan Kishan with 23 were other notable scorers as MI was restricted to 186/6, losing by 20 runs. Matheesha Pathirana was the Player of the Match for his 4/28.
After the match, MS Dhoni was seen limping on his way out of the stadium towards the bus. He got help from his former India and CSK teammate Suresh Raina, who supported him down the stairs on the way to the bus.
Dhoni has been dealing with a hamstring issue on his left leg and was seen with an ice-pack on the limb after the recent few matches.
Suresh Raina, who was part of the broadcast duty, walked alongside MS Dhoni as the CSK players were heading out of the stadium and toward the team bus after the exhilarating contest. The video of Raina helping MS Dhoni has gone viral on social media.
Dhoni looked in good spirits as he tapped the back of Raina, thanking him for that heartwarming gesture before he waved at the fans.
