In case you didn’t know…
CSK fans have treated Dhoni as their own ever since he joined the franchise. He has led them to the IPL title three times, and the people of Tamil Nadu have nicknamed him ‘Thala’ (Boss).
The heart of the matter
Chennai hosted the Delhi Capitals in the 50th match of the season on Wednesday. The return of Dhoni boosted the Super Kings camp, and he did justice by playing a fabulous innings of 44 runs in just 22 balls. He finished the innings in his usual way by smashing the final ball of Trent Boult for a six.
Chasing a tricky target of 180, Delhi kept losing wickets. Dhoni, as usual, was brilliant behind the stumps and did two unbelievable stumpings. Delhi suffered their biggest loss of the season as Chennai moved back to the top of the points table.
It was the final home match for Chennai this season and Dhoni got emotional about his connection with the franchise and the fans.
He also revealed the secret behind his fast stumpings and stated that one needs to get the basics right first.
What’s next?
CSK will play their last league game against the Kings XI Punjab in Mohali on Sunday.
