Age has its drawbacks, but MS Dhoni is an example of someone who defies the preconceived preconceptions that come with becoming older. Reflexes are a gift from God, but mastering them takes a lifetime of commitment and passion for the work. When Vijay Shankar edged past the keeper after Daryl Mitchell bowled a longer delivery, the former Chennai Super Kings did exactly that. With both hands, Dhoni leaped to his right, like a ferocious Panther leaping towards its prey.
In front of the visiting Gujarat Titans, CSK set a massive goal of 206. The Titans had a strong start, but they lost skipper Shubman Gill very quickly. After Deepak Chahar struck him in the helmet, GT veteran Wriddhiman Saha did likewise. Speaking of Chahar, he appeared to have made up for lost time by taking two wickets and preventing CSK from pulling away.

It’s always MS Dhoni’s cosy affair when he’s in Chennai.
The reigning champions defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season’s opening game at Chepauk to start their 2024 campaign on a positive note. Tickets are pricey and promotions are at an all-time high because of the speculation that this season will be Dhoni’s final one. The 42-year-old has already stated that his final match would take place in Chennai, citing Chennai as the epicentre of both the Qualifier 2 and the IPL 2024 Finals.

The former captain of India has resigned from his position at CSK and has given Ruturaj Gaikwad more authority over the team. As the child continues to look for the Indian cricket’s greyhead for timely comments, he is constantly visible in the shadows. In 2022, Ravindra Jadeja was a captain for CSK for a brief period of time, but the experiment did not work out as Jadeja left the position in the middle.
