MS Dhoni is one of the finest limited-overs cricketers who has stepped on the planet earth. He has immense reputation and he proved it again. Chasing 206 in Match 24 of the ongoing VIVO IPL 2018, Dhoni’s belligerence guided Chennai Super Kings (CSK) home with 2 balls to spare. Dhoni blasted 7 sixes in his 34-ball 70* against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
CSK were 74 for 4 in the ninth over when Dhoni stepped in. He and Ambati Rayudu (82 off 53 balls) shared a 101-run stand for the fifth wicket off just 47 balls to set up the win.
CSK climbed to the top spot in IPL points table. Social media went berserk with the Dhoni show. While some spoke about the nostalgia, Matthew Hayden went to an extent of calling him the “real universe boss”. Here are some of the reactions from the cricket fraternity.
Boy oh boy, last nights match didn't disappoint one bit. I don't know how #Dhoni does it & remain so cool under pressure. #CSK surely have to be the favourites of this year's IPL?! #whislepodu#RCBvCSKpic.twitter.com/hhpqvx0iZL
It was a pleasure to commentate on that tonight! MSD is a genius and people who would ever write someone like him off may be feeling very silly over the last few weeks…
Mahi mahi ve… vintage dhoni no doubt abt that n Rayudu is playing like a dream. Rcb need some death bowlers n good all rounder who can support in batting lower down the order n get the team 3-4 overs consistently #ipl
