Dhoni’s brilliant knock, scoring 28 off just nine balls, propelled CSK to a formidable total of 176. The crowd erupted in applause as the veteran cricketer showcased his masterclass at the Ekana Stadium. A colossal 101-meter six and a deafening 95-decibel roar upon Dhoni’s entry epitomized the frenzy surrounding his every move.

Speaking to JioCinema, Zaheer Khan marveled at Dhoni’s enduring brilliance, noting how he seems to elevate his game with each outing.

“The roar is getting bigger and better and louder, and so is MS Dhoni’s presence there out on the field.

“Well, I think the only thing that’s stopping him is his health. I think his fitness will be the only thing that stops him from playing any further. He loves the game. He’s deeply passionate about it and wants to continue playing it. But if there’s anything that will stop him, I think it will be his own body. That will probably give way because the mind is there. The mind is innovating. The mind is staying up to date. He’s like, Oh, everyone’s playing the ramp shot. I can do it too,” said Uthappa.

Coming to the match, despite Dhoni’s heroics, LSG emerged victorious by eight wickets. Cricket enthusiasts can anticipate another thrilling face-off between the two teams at Chepauk on April 23.
