MS Dhoni took to batting on Sunday after 307 days, but anyone fortunate enough to witness the spectacle couldn’t say that the veteran, aged 42, showed any signs of discomfort while playing a explosive innings of 37 runs (not out) off 16 balls.
In Short
What made the innings even more special was MS Dhoni’s visionary strategy, as he knew that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) couldn’t win this match, but he kept hitting those beautiful sixes to get as close to the target as possible.

However, cricket fans got worried when they saw MS Dhoni limping after his stormy innings. He was having difficulty walking with an ice pack on his left calf muscles while taking selfies with his fans. CSK fans expressed concern on social media as they didn’t want MS Dhoni to sit out of IPL 2024, which is hoped to be his last season in the tournament.
MS Dhoni: ‘Electric Striker’

“I don’t know how to express it. On one hand, as an MS Dhoni fan, I’m thrilled, what a knock! At the age of 42, someone is smashing it like that, without any worry. Vintage Dhoni! In 2005, he played an aggressive century against Pakistan in Visakhapatnam, where he got out for a duck in his first international match. In his second match (fifth), he thwarted Pakistan’s attack,” former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth said.

“He’s hitting sixes over the point, hitting sixes with one hand in the midwicket region. He’s hitting it everywhere. He dismantled Delhi’s attack. What a marvel! Before this, he used to reach the point area for big shots off-side, but this cover drive, that bent six, was magnificent,” he added.
