In a high-scoring encounter between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Visakhapatnam, former Team India captain and CSK legend MS Dhoni showcased his vintage power-hitting skills, leaving fans in awe and sparking a wave of nostalgia across social media platforms.
Dhoni shines but CSK falls short of the target
CSK found themselves in a precarious position at 120/6 in 16.1 overs while chasing a formidable target of 192 set by DC. However, Dhoni’s entry into the crease injected a surge of energy into the CSK camp. With his aggressive batting, Dhoni single-handedly took CSK close to the target, scoring a quickfire 37 off just 16 balls, which included 4 fours and 3 sixes, steering his team to a respectable total of 171/6 at the end of their innings.
Dhoni’s old tweet resurfaces on the internet
Dhoni’s breathtaking performance not only saved CSK from an embarrassing defeat but also reminded fans of his glory days on the field. The resurgence of an old tweet by Dhoni further added to the nostalgia, where he once stated that his primary aim was to entertain the fans, irrespective of the match’s outcome.
“Doesn’t matter which team wins,I am here for entertainment,” Dhoni had tweeted.
