MS Dhoni produced a virtuoso performance with bat and gloves to power Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a thumping 80-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in an IPL clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wed🌸nesday.
Dhoni smashed 44 from just 22 𒆙balls with the help of 4 fours and 3 sixes to lead the home side to a total of 179 for four before spinners Imran Tahir (4-12) and Ravindra Jadeja (3-9) wrought havoc amidst the Delhi batsmen as they were bowled out for just 99 in 16.2 overs.
Dhoni pulled off two lightning fast stumpings to dismiss DC skipper Shr🌳eyas Iyer (44 from 31 balls) and Chris Morris for a golden duck before grabbing an equally quick catch to remove last man Amit Mishra and seal victory🍸.
