Chennai Super Kings (CSK) played their third match of IPL 2024 against Delhi Capitals (DC) on a Sunday at Visakhapatnam’s ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, and the evening proved to be memorable one for MS Dhoni fans.
DC set a challenging total against CSK
With the help of half-centuries from Rishabh Pant and David Warner, DC scored 191 r꧒uns for the five wickets and set a target of 192 for the Super Kings.
During the run chase, CSK made a very disappointing start. They lost the wickets of both their openers for just seven runs inside three overs. Experienced campaigners, Ajinkya Rahane and Daryl Mitchell stitched a 68-run part💟nership for the third wicket to put their team ou🦂t of trouble.
Dhoni completes 300 dismissals in T20 cricket
Dhoni claimed his 300th dismissal in T20 cricket after taking a brilliant catch of DC opener Prithvi Shaw. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter, has achieved many records in his career, but this record will be very special to him as he is🥂 only player to do so.
Dhoni, aged 42, is still performing like youngsters on 🌠the cricket field and can add some more scalps to his name in the upcomin🍷g games.
