Dhoni’s entrance to the crease came at a critical juncture for CSK, as they found themselves at 141/6 after 17.5 overs. With the innings poised delicately, Dhoni took charge and delivered a masterclass in finishing, propelling the Super Kings to a formidable total of 176/6 at the end of their allotted 20 overs.

The final over of the innings witnessed Dhoni in full flow, as he unleashed his power-hitting prowess against Yash Thakur. The veteran batter smashed a towering six off Thakur’s bowling before finishing off the innings in style with two boundaries in last 3 balls.
