Mrs. Dhoni was the center of attention at the Shri stadium Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Lucknow on Monday, led Chennai Super Kings to their first victory after five consecutive defeats in IPL 2025. He broke 26 of just 11 vans to direct CSK to win five goal.
There were several standout moments for Dhoni in Lucknow, but that was a remarkable run that stole from the end of the non -trap. In the 20th LSG shifts with 43 -year -old Wicketkeeper plunged and gathered a wide van from Matheesha Pathirana. But he quickly recovered and noticed that Rishabh Pant and Abdul Samad were trying to slip goodbye. He immediately read the situation, Dhoni ensured that his throw was not defending Samad, who sprinted to the other end. He chose the ball over the dough and hit the stumps at the end of Nedinffir with accuracy.
Much left, including scientists and cricket colleagues, in respect. While Dhoni is famous for his introduction to Blesk, he was simply extraordinary.
Dhoni could not help but smiled widely because the repetition confirmed that Samad was very short when he was throwing the stumps.
During the usual exchange after the match, Rishabh Pant did it to ask Dhoni on mystery for the time.
In his trademark undervalued style, Dhoni played it and said, “I just saw stumps and went on. Either it hit or miss. That was a mentality.”
But Pant did not buy humility, joined some friendly joking, and indicated that a higher goalkeeper rarely lacks such magical moments.
In particular, the former India Batter and Wicketkeeper Robin Uthappa described Dhoni’s impact on Samad as a “coincidence”, emphasizing how difficult it is to plan and perform such feasts.
“I’m someone who wore gloves. I know it was” Fluke “(Fluke),” Uthappa said during the commentary about Star Sports.
Dhoni was exceptional behind the stumps in IPL 2025 and has so far influenced seven releases, including four stumps. Currently, the Wicketkeepers list is second with the most release this season, only for Jitesh Sharma.
On Monday, Dhoni also became the first player in the field in IPL history complete 200 release. While 197 of them came as a bag, Captain CSK also took four catches in the field.
Dhoni’s brilliance with gloves and bats proved to be key in five goals CSK over LSG. With just two wins out of seven matches, Super Kings can afford another slip if they are to keep their hopes on the playoffs alive.
Their further challenge comes in the form of a high-octane clash with the Indians in Mumbai on Sunday, April 20.
