Former CSK captain and legend MS Dhoni finally came to bat in the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31.
In the first two matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, MS Dhoni found himself on the sidelines as his teammates adeptly handled the batting duties. However, when faced with the challenge against the Delhi Capitals (DC), CSK sought Dhoni’s batting prowess in the lower order, given the top order’s struggle to pursue the target.
Amidst thunderous applause from the crowd, MS Dhoni strode confidently to the crease following the departure of star batter Shivam Dube in the 17th over, having amassed 18 runs. Dhoni’s arrival ignited the stadium, filling it with jubilation as the legendary wicketkeeper-batter took centre stage, captivating the audience with his sensational display of batting prowess.
As MS Dhoni concluded the innings unbeaten on 37 runs from a mere 16 deliveries, featuring four boundaries and three maximums, one shot stood out, reminiscent of his glory days. With 17 runs already under his belt from just 10 balls, the wicketkeeper-batter unleashed a breathtaking one-handed six against none other than South African paceman Anrich Nortje.
