During the IPL 2024 encounter against the Mumbai Indians, on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, it was all MS Dhoni. The seasoned batsman for the Chennai Super Kings hammered 20 runs in just four deliveries. With barely four balls left in the CSK innings when he stepped out to bat, Dhoni took full advantage of the occasion, hitting Hardik Pandya for three straight sixes. Every big shot that Dhoni made caused the audience to scream, and Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of legendary former Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, was astounded by the powerful batting shown.

Rohit Sharma played a valiant century before the game, but it was all in moot as Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by 20 runs. Even though Rohit was still undefeated at105, the hosts eventually failed to reach the 207-run total as they continued to lose wickets often.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube had earlier struck outstanding half-centuries, and Dhoni added the finishing touch to push the CSK total above 200 on a pitch that offered little to no assistance to the bowlers.
After the game, Gaikwad had a special compliment for Dhoni.
“The young wicketkeeper scoring those three sixes helped us a lot, that proved to be the difference. We needed those 10-15 extra runs for this kind of venue,” Gaikwad stated at the presentation ceremony.
Even MI captain Hardik Pandya recognized Dhoni’s value in the CSK lineup and noted that having him there ultimately gives his team a significant advantage.

“They employed a clever strategy and set of plans. The all-rounder said, “They got the hang of it. There’s a man behind the stumps (Dhoni) who tells them what’s working, that helps.”
