MS Dhoni made a remarkable comeback to the pitch after 307 days on Sunday, showcasing no signs of discomfort during his explosive 16-ball 37-run innings. Despite Chennai Super Kings (CSK) facing a challenging match, Dhoni’s visionary tactic of pushing boundaries to get as close to the target as possible left fans in awe.
However, concerns arose when viewers noticed Dhoni limping after his innings, with an ice cap on his left calf muscle while taking selfies with fans. CSK supporters expressed worry over the video, fearing Dhoni’s potential absence from IPL 2024, which is speculated to be his final season in the tournament.
Dhoni’s outstanding performance at the Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam earned him the title of the “Electric Striker” of the DC vs CSK IPL 2024 match. Even veteran players were astonished by his innings, questioning how a 42-year-old could display such prowess.
Former Team India cricketer Kris Srikkanth expressed his admiration, stating, “I am very happy as an MS Dhoni fan. What a knock! At the age of 42, someone is hitting like this, he is hitting them without any worry. Vintage Dhoni!” Srikkanth reminisced Dhoni’s aggressive century against Pakistan in Vizag in 2005, highlighting his remarkable talent and consistency over the years.
