Walking with an ice pack on his left calf muscle was difficult for MS Dhoni as he took photos with his supporters.
After 307 days off, MS Dhoni returned to the batting on Sunday, and no one who was fortunate enough to watch the show could claim that the 42-year-old superstar was in any discomfort after his incredible 16-ball, 37-run (not out) innings. The innings was made more spectacular by MS Dhoni’s brilliant strategy. Despite knowing that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would not win this match, he continued to knock gorgeous sixes to get as near to the target as he could.
But after the wild innings, MS Dhoni began to hobble, giving the cricket fans a worry. When taking pictures with his admirers and sporting an ice pack on his left calf muscle, MS Dhoni was having difficulty walking. The video alarmed the CSK supporters since they don’t want MS Dhoni to miss the Indian Premier League 2024, which is likely to be his last season of competition.
The “Electric Striker,” MS Dhoni:
In addition to impressing everyone with his amazing knock at the Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, he was named the “Electric Striker” of the DC vs. CSK IPL 2024 match. The more experienced batsmen were confused by MS Dhoni’s performance and wondered if he was truly forty-two.
“I’m not sure how to put it. As a fan of MS Dhoni, I am thrilled about this in one sense—what a knock!This is how someone hits; at forty-two, he is striking with reckless abandon. Old-fashioned Dhoni! He scored an aggressive century in 2005.
In his debut international encounter, he was out for 0 against Pakistan in Vizag. Former Team India cricketer Kris Srikkanth observed, “He tore into the Pakistan attack in his second match (the fifth).”
“He is hitting one-handed sixes into the mid-wicket stands and sixes over point.” Everywhere he goes, he creates waves. He tore into the Delhi attack. How about that knock? He used to get to the point area for his huge off-side shots earlier, but he was really good at the leanin.”
