[Watch] MS Dhoni Spotted Dejected and Emotional After RCB Knocks CSK Out of IPL 2024 Playoff Race

The high-stakes clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lived up to its billing, transforming into a nail-biting last-over thriller. Victory for RCB secured their playoff berth, while leaving CSK heartbroken and their captain, MS Dhoni, visibly distraught.

Chasing a mammoth 218 runs, CSK needed a staggering 17 runs from the final over to snatch victory. The ever-reliable MS Dhoni, known for his finishing prowess, started the over with a bang, launching the first ball for a six and raising CSK’s hopes.

However, young RCB pacer Yash Dayal had other plans. He staged a magnificent comeback, dismissing the legendary Dhoni and conceding just one run in the remaining deliveries.

The RCB dugout erupted in jubilation, with Virat Kohli sharing a warm hug with captain Faf du Plessis. On the other hand, MS Dhoni, known for his calm and composed nature looked dejected.
