CSK found themselves in a precarious position at 120/6 in 16.1 overs while chasing a formidable target of 192 set by DC. However, Dhoni’s entry into the crease injected a surge of energy into the CSK camp. With his aggressive batting, Dhoni single-handedly took CSK close to the target, scoring a quickfire 37 off just 16 balls, which included 4 fours and 3 sixes, steering his team to a respectable total of 171/6 at the end of their innings.

The resurgence of an old tweet by Dhoni further added to the nostalgia, where he once stated that his primary aim was to entertain the fans, irrespective of the match’s outcome.

“Doesn’t matter which team wins,I am here for entertainment,” Dhoni had tweeted.
