MS Dhoni, the legendary wicketkeeper-batter, rolled back the years with a sensational knock against the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League match on Sunday. Playing in Visakhapatnam, Dhoni enthralled the crowd with an unbeaten 37-run* knock off just 16 balls, smashing 4 fours and three sixes.
The atmosphere at the stadium was surreal as Dhoni entered the middle with the bat in his hand. It was the first time he had the chance to bat this season, and he certainly didn’t disappoint. With the match slipping away from Chennai Super Kings’ reach, Dhoni’s innings provided a memorable moment for the fans.
CSK needed 41 runs off the last over, and Dhoni took charge. He punished Anrich Nortje, hitting the first ball for a boundary through extra cover. Nortje struggled with his line and length, and Dhoni capitalized on every opportunity. The second ball, a full toss, was dispatched for a one-handed six over mid-wicket. Nortje’s troubles continued as he bowled another full toss on the fourth ball, which raced for a four.
Despite Dhoni’s heroics, CSK fell short of the target, ending at 171 for six. The pacers Khaleel Ahmed (2/21) and Mukesh Kumar (3/21) rattled the CSK batting lineup earlier in the innings. However, Dhoni’s unbeaten knock and his milestone achievement as a wicketkeeper added to the excitement of the match.
MS Dhoni Achieves Milestone as a Wicketkeeper
During the clash against the Delhi Capitals, Dhoni achieved a massive milestone as a wicketkeeper. He claimed a sharp catch to dismiss DC opener Prithvi Shaw, becoming the first wicketkeeper to execute 300 dismissals in T20Is. The catch came off Ravindra Jadeja’s delivery in the 11th over, when Shaw played the cut shot and Dhoni took a brilliant catch.
With his exceptional batting and wicketkeeping skills, MS Dhoni continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of cricket. His cameo in Vizag left the crowd electrified and showcased his timeless talent.
