Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni batꦿted♊ intelligently on a tricky pitch and scored a well-calculated half-century against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Chepauk on Sunday.
Dhoni now has a produced a fifty ไin every IPL season since the inaugural edition in 2008.
He ha🔯s 21 half-centuries, 19 for CSK and two for Rising Pune Supergiant, to his name in 178 matches. Dhoni, 𓆏however, is yet to score a hundred in the IPL.
The 37-year-old’s final flourish against RR propelled CSK to 175 for 5 at the end of 20 overs. He smashed three successive sixes off Jaydev Undakat in the 20th over and remained unbeaten on 75 off 46 balls.
