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.

With the help of half-centuries from Rishabh Pant and David Warner, DC sco⛦red 191 runs 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 stitched𝓡 a 68-ru൲n partnership for the third wicket to put their team out of trouble.
Dhoni completes 300 dismissals in T20 cricket

Dhoni, aged 42, is✤ still performing like youngsters on the cricket field and can add some more s🍷calps to his name in the upcoming games.
