Chennai Super Kings’ captain Dhoni was at his marauding best on Monday as he guided Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to 211/4 against Delhi Daredevils (DD).
CSK, playing at their new home ground in Pune, were given 🅠the upper hand thanks to a 40-ball 70 f🍎rom opener Shane Watson.
Dhoni, though, came in and gave his team a total that’ll be hard to chase. The wicketkeeper-batsman was in prime form, smashing the DD bowlers to all corners of the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. In the process, Dhoni also smashed his second fastest fifty in the IPL.

There is a group of fans that had fallen in love with Dhoni in 2005 or 2006. For numerous reasons, both Dhoni's approach and their feelings changed over time.
Tꦚhe old Dhoni is probably back. All that is missing is the long hair.

Different ways and adjectives to describe batting today – I would say he’s batting like the Mahi of 2006-08

Woah MS Dhoni. He knew the ball would be thrown at his end so he had a ෴hand at his back to save it while running to the other end.
Some game awareness that.

MS Dhoni's sixes are so powerful that crowds inside the stadium are safe, but motorists on the adjoining Mumbai-Pune expressway are not.

This is batting like the way he batted in 2006 I would say. Turning back the clock. Hands faster 📖than lightening. And glad he came ahead of Jadeja.
