The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Saturday, held between hosts Mumbai Indians (MI) and visitors Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In the El Clasico of the cash-rich league, the MS Dhoni-led CSK defeated Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai by seven wickets, securing their second consecutive victory in the 16th season. With the win, the Super Kings rose to fourth place in the points table.

Ajinkya Rahane, the veteran batter, had a memorable debut for the Yellow Army, as he top-scored with 61 runs off just 27 balls. Ruturaj Gaikwad, the current holder of the Orange Cap, also chipped in with unbeaten 40 runs from 36 balls to take CSK over the finish line.

Fans, however, missed the opportunity to see CSK skipper Dhoni bat during the epic clash. But the Ranchi-born superstar made his presence felt on the field by taking an excellent catch of the world’s No. 1 T20I batter, Suryakumar Yadav, and then exhibiting why DRS is referred to as the Dhoni Review System.

It all happened during the eighth over of MI’s innings bowled by Mitchell Santner when the left-arm spinner managed to trap Surya on the second ball of the over. Dhoni caught the ball behind the wickets, but the umpire wasn’t convinced and ruled in the batter’s favour. However, MSD decided to go upstairs, and after the decision was reviewed, a clear spike was caught between the bat and the ball, resulting in Surya’s dismissal from the pitch.

Here is how fans reacted:
